Multiplicity

http://www.stardock.com/products/multiplicity/


I just bought this and love it. I know its an old concept but this is a new product from Stardock. Stop reading if you already know all about what it does, but its news to me!



Basically its the same setup as using multiple monitors on one machine, but each monitor can actually be for a different computer linked up over the network. Its awesome for double boxing in Warcraft where I used to use a KVM switch. With a KVM... there's too much of a delay, cumbersome hardware, and pushing buttons to switch is a lot more annoying than just moving your mouse over to the next desktop. Its also great at work where I have 2 development computers and I can actually also control the server machine which is on the other side of the room (i have to squint though!)

anyway. hopefully someone else will get some use out of it

I use Synergy to share my mouse and keyboard from my workstation to my laptop at work. (*nix -> Windows)

Previously I had used RealVNC (TightVNC, *VNC) but IT has recently blocked us from installing the server on our laptops!

Both of these programs are free, so you might want to check them out if you are looking to do something similar.

I thought I was going to have to move this thread to the Movie forum for being off topic.
