Well.. it's not quite the same as a kvm. Synergy is meant to meld two machines running side by side (with two monitors) into effectively one. You still have two monitors/workspaces but you are able to bind them to each other as if it was two heads on one machine and move the mouse between them, share a clipboard, etc. It is certainly damn handy though where your desk is taken up with multiple keyboards/mice because you have a few systems in front of you. <EOL> Tib -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
