Multiple computers -- try Synergy

This looks cool... If you have more than one computer on your desktop and they have separate monitors, Synergy will allow you to share one mouse and keyboard for all the systems. The systems can be running different OS's too - MAC, Linux, Windows are supported. From their website: bq. synergy: [noun] a mutually advantageous conjunction of distinct elements bq. Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware. It's intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s). bq. Redirecting the mouse and keyboard is as simple as moving the mouse off the edge of your screen. Synergy also merges the clipboards of all the systems into one, allowing cut-and-paste between systems. Furthermore, it synchronizes screen savers so they all start and stop together and, if screen locking is enabled, only one screen requires a password to unlock them all. Open source...
