I think most of us have both a laptop and a desktop, perhaps more than one of each. In the old days, you would have had to buy a piece of hardware called a KVM to deal with this situation, and that sucked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But now there&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/synergy-plus\/\">Synergy Plus<\/a>, a free software application for sharing a keyboard and mouse between two or more machines. It works over your existing network and even shares the clipboard (text only) between machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best part? It works on all three major platforms: Windows, Mac, and Linux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;ve never tried it, or if you have an older version, i.e. Synergy2, give Synergy Plus a try. It&#8217;s not too hard to setup &#8212; just make one computer the server, configure it, and set the others to be clients. There&#8217;s a full configuration guide <a href=\"http:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/synergy-plus\/wiki\/Setup\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/synergy-plus\/\">link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you have more than one computer on your desk?
