Amazed !

Normally when you have 2 computers you just use 2 keyboards and 2 mouses, or if you have a switch you can use one keyboard and one mouse.
I have 2 computers on my desk and it's just so confusing sometimes to use one keyboard for one thing and the other one for something else...
Today I found a little application that is called "Synergy" (You can get it from here: http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/).
I'm speechless with it.., once installed and configured I just use one mouse and one keyboard and when I move my mouse to the border of the right it jumps to the other monitor (not impressive yet if you're used to work with dual view) which is the other computer..... A great tool for productivity....

This is the product description:
"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.”
"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)."
