good ideas. what about nylon bands? would those do? I think I had
some but don't kow what happened to them. don't remember where I got
them tho.
would having additional kvm cables help some for the original input? I
do have 2 kvm cables. its currently hooked to the kvm switch to 2 pcs.
however, the single keyboard, mouse & video cables bears some thinking.
video cable can be replaced, with a kvm cable, but I'm not sure about
the keyboard cable & mouse cable. is it worthwile to go to the kvm
route or leave it as is.
