Another free open source option (and multiplatform!) is Synergy. You gotta check it out http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/about.html

Ok, so do you need to connect the two devices together? How does it work? Can I use this w/ my Desktop PC and Laptop? --- ahhh just read, TCPIP network connection, very cool.

I tried the demo out a while ago and it's an awesome program. I'm using an old laptop that I don't use much anymore and it runs nicely. All I need now is a couple more laptops..=p

Daaaaaaaaamn cool! Awesome. I have bought a license and have now 4 laptops running together like in their video. It's just mindblowing.

Thanks for sharing that.

P.S. Mike: Synergy is something totally different

Does anyone know if this poses any known security risks? I work in an environment that tries to adhere to a high level of security.

As an aside, I am curious where the phrase "it's pure sex" originated, or at least its history of use among geeks. I started using it last year, but it was not because I read it somewhere, it simply popped out one day and the person that first heard me say it outloud thought I was a freak. I soon found however, that other people in the developer community were using it as well. And here it is again. I think it is a great phrase, but people do raise eyebrows at it, especially when I say that some inanimate object is 'pure sex;' they think I am sex-deprived.

Any ideas on the etymology? :P
