Virtual KVM

Now this is cool.
Synergy is an open source virtual KVM switch. Basically, using only one mouse and keyboard, one can control up to 16 different computers. The only catch is that each computer has to have their own screen. I just started using this at work for my two computers. So, now using a single mouse and keyboard I am commanding three screens.
Check it out

Soon, if someone builds some sort of VNC component into this, then not only one can use a single screen for all, but also can actually start dragging and dropping windows from one computer's screen to another one's.

been using this one for a long time now. it really is a godsend.

the os x version's installation and configuration is a bit trivial though, especially if you are not accustomed to pondering around in terminal.
