Control multiple computers with one keyboard and mouse.
There
is an awesome writeup on Synergy by Adam Pash over at LifeHacker today.
I have been using it for sometime now and you should check out the post
and applications.
If
you have two or more computers at one desk, you don’t want two or more
sets of keyboards and mice cluttering up your workspace, too. You can
buy a hardware gadget that lets you share a single keyboard and mouse
with several computers (which involves a mess of tangled wires), or you
could use a free software solution called Synergy. The Synergy
application runs on all the computers you’re using—the one that has the
keyboard and mouse connected and the one(s) that do not—and lets you
control all of them from that keyboard and mouse. That means you can
move your mouse off one computer’s screen and it will appear on the
other, where you can type and work as well. Synergy also lets you share
Clipboard contents between computers. If you copy information to the
Clipboard on one computer and move your mouse to the other, you can
paste it there, even though they’re two different systems.
