The horror stories aren’t so much about the moving of the monitors, but the video card issues. Wouldn’t it just be be easier to move another PC (and monitor) closer to your work area and be done with it?
Well, there is a solution out there for you. Synergy supports Windows and Linux platforms. It’s easy to install and it’s free. With Synergy, you are able to, with great ease, share one mouse and keyboard between many computer with different operating systems that have their own monitors.
One of the beautiful things about Synergy is its ability to merge clipboards from all the systems. This solves the issue of grabbing some text from one computer and using another.
Another plus, the screen savers are not only synced to start and stop at the same time, but you only have to key in one password.
Synergy is perfect for designers, developers and just about any one who needs two or more monitors or greater productivity on the job.
Synergy can be downloaded by clicking on this link.
Remember, that the only dumb question is the one never asked. If you have any questions or comments, I look forward to them, please email or call me.
Cheers.
