Who cares you say? it does this over your network and it can share your Mouse and keyboard from a mac to a PC or linux or vice versa. I am absolutely in love with this software. Anyone with multiple computers to manage should love this idea.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the situation that I am using it for. I have my huge wonderful computer with dual 24&#8243; monitors on my desk. I come home with my X61 and I don&#8217;t want to use the tiny keyboard and nub (you know the little red thing in the middle of the keyboard sometimes referred to as a clit mouse). So I just turn on synergy and I set the laptop to the right of my monitors. Just by moving my cursor all the way to the right until it is off of my monitors I can now control my laptop with my big PC&#8217;s keyboard and mouse! Genius!<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, I love it. It is great for me because recently I have been doing a lot of browser compatibility testing (Entreeplay is coming along!) and it is nice to have easy access to a PC with older browsers on it.<\/p>\n<p>But anyways you can try out synergey <a title=\"here\" href=\"http:\/\/synergy-foss.org\/\">here<\/a>\u00a0(<a href=\"http:\/\/synergy-foss.org\/\">http:\/\/synergy-foss.org\/<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>see you next month!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So some of you MBA&#8217;s may be thinking that I just merged with a company or something but you would be wrong!
