Switching Between Computers...

Hi, I wanted to ask someone if they knew of a computer hardware product that
would let you switch between Two desktops while running on the same monitor.
Someone I used to know had one but I forgot the name of the product. If
someone knows can you please post it.

Thanks!!

You are looking for a KVM (Keyboard, Video, Monitor) switch and just about
every reputable computer shop will have one.

I'm pretty sure it's Keyboard, Video and Mouse, as Video and Monitor are
basically the same thing - the visual aspect of a KVM. At least that is
what is says on mine.

Get a good one.. with cheap KVM switches, you will lose some customized
features that your keyboard has, like on screen display and maybe others..
it all depends..

I'm using Belkin's OMNI Cube 4 port F1D094 ( oldish model) but
it works well for me.with 4 PC (Windows XP, Vista, Suse 10 and win 2K).
There is also a newer model which allows to share also speaker
but I haven't tried it.
