I can not beleive how many looks you got on this and no one replies.......is everyone here clueless???????


Yes there is a way...its called a kvm switch, Walmart sells them about 20.00 bucks I think and thats what I am running right now, very nice and it switches easy......you just hit the scroll lock twice in a row and BAM........computer swap. The brand they sell is iogear and its a dream. Let me know if you have anymore questions.
