[nflug] A/B box, anyone?

[Louis Spironello]

Geezer.  Hmmm.  I'm starting to feel very old when I remember the meaning of 
that word!

I originally had some difficulty with synergy in that it, or something lost 
detection of my mouse, keyboard and video.   I just didn't have time to 
fiddle with the stuff but despite the fact
that there was that glich there seemed to be much promise.

I never heard of the quicksynergy before.  I thank you for mentioning that.  
I'm going to check
it out.

Let us know how things turn out.

Thank you.

Regards,
Lou
