For those that don't know about it...

If you have more than one computer on your desk, and would like to use one keyboard/mouse for them all w/o a KVM switch, you can use Synergy:

And there is a nice control panel thingy for mac osx:

As much as I hate using it, I had to setup my windows laptop (cause parallels would constantly freakout and fail to start my vm). But its not so bad using Synergy, as my evil windows laptop just acts like another display, just can't drag windows over to it, but copy- paste for text stuff works fine.

Works great for mac osx, linux and windows.

I'll never have to try and type on that evil thinkpad keyboard again ;-) Anyways, its really great to effectively utilize machines with displays you work with.
