The Awesomeness of Synergy

[AzureHoBo]

Can you drag and drop open programs from one computer monitor to the other? Like move AIM from the Main computer to the secondary?

@AzureHoBo No as that was two different computers... Each monitor was a different computer, they were linked together with Synergy so I just used one keyboard and mouse on both computers.

Whoa I just read the description, that's two different computers? I don't know how that's even possible but it is awesome.

[segamanxero]

yup, you can do this with any two computers... even a laptop... originally when someone put me on to this program, I paired my Powerbook and my PIII machine, but at the time I didnt like that and I was more looking for something to control my PIII machine from a far and put the monitor readout on my Powerbook, not share the keyboards. (I used UltraVNC and the mac client that I forgot the name of, haha). I only started using this recently when I wanted to use the my dell more with my PIII machine

Dude sweet dual monitors, I wish to have a set up like that one day.

xp noir is the god of all xp themes

[segamanxero]

haha yes, the only thing better then XP Noir is the hacked one I installed which completed and fixed some issues with XP Noir, as XP Noir was a incomplete theme...

I had to hack my copy of XP to install unsigned themes though...
