Extended Your Desktop Onto Another Computer
At my office I have three monitors on my desk. Two are for my pc and one is for my backup server. I was thinking about how convenient it would be to simply move the mouse over to the backup server like an extended desktop. I started searching around and found Maxivista.com. One can always use remote desktop, but this is good if you want to control multiple computers with one keyboard and mouse, and it also gives you more screen real estate since you are using the added monitor of the other computer.
The company's main thing is that you can use old notebooks as extended monitors, which is cool and a good marketing angle, but what I like is the ability to remote control as in a KVM setup. I can move the mouse over to the right of the screen on my desktop and it seamlessly moves into the other computer's desktop. The mouse on the remote screen isn’t as smooth as far as the refresh rate, probably because the mouse movement information is going through the network, but it is still very good.
