I just figured out how to use Synergy! Now I'm using my PC keyboard & mouse on my PC & Mac... thus eliminating the need for a second keyboard & mouse...

Right now the only complaint that I have is that there is no side-scroll on my logitech mouse. Man, I miss the side-scroll already, and it's only been a couple of hours!

I have never used it, bt it looks cool! Do you need any wires or a special network?

No wires or special network needed. I've got Synergy server running on my PC, and Synergy client running on my Mac. PC setup was a breeze (GUI) but the Mac setup is all done in TextEdit and has to be executed via Terminal. A bit of a pain, but after about an hour I figured it out.

Click to expand...

hold shift down while scrolling, it turns vertical scrolling into horizontal.
