Actually, I found synergy a couple of days ago while trying to figure 
out what the hell KVM meant (A/B is geezer talk, I guess). Software is 
definitely a more promising solution, since I'd like to clear more crap 
OFF this desk,

Then immediately got sidetracked from it until late last night, when the 
whole "larry, curly, moe" routine in /etc/synergy.conf just gave me a 
headache.

Fortunately, I found the quicksynergy gui this morning, which looks very 
promising. I'm currently trying to see if I can use up/down for the 
other two machines since all are running e (two e17 and one e16), so 
they need left/right for desktop switching. Something is happening, just 
not sure what yet.

Thanks for the tip,
S.

p.s. Thanks for the hardware link, Dave, but buying MORE hardware is 
what I'm trying to avoid. Prices certainly look good though. Have to 
check that place out.
