[QUOTE="reallycheep, post: 343627, member: 26374"] This topic has been posted before, many times, and I've read all the threads. I'm posting again to see if anyone has had any recent new insights into the topic. Briefly, I want to share a VGA monitor and USB keyboard/mouse between a Macbook and a PC. I want to make sure I get the right KVM the first time, because whenever I buy the cheapest of anything, and it doesn't work right and I have to buy a better model, I end up feeling like a big ***. So I'm looking for replies from folks who have used a specific KVM model with both a Mac and PC and can attest that their KVM has been ROCK SOLID. No plugging/unplugging, rebooting, swearing, etc., it just has to work the way it should without excuses or compromises. Not to ramble on too much but my whole reason for beginning the switch from PC to Mac is because, even though I have spent countless enjoyable hours learning about, tweaking, fiddling with, and optimizing Windows systems over the past 10 years, I am at a point in my life (and the computer industry should be with me on this) that fiddling is OK from time to time but most of the time I want everything to JUST WORK so that for a change I myself can get some work done. Struggling to get my wife's brand-new-out-of-the-box C2D Macbook to work reliably with my D-Link wireless router, when I had been lead to believe that everything would immediately JUST WORK, was very disillusioning An impossible dream? I hope not! Please help if you can! And yes I am aware that I'll have to buy the little $20 video adapter cable from Apple. [/QUOTE]
