Synergy and my new setup
Here’s what my workstation setup now looks like after just under four months in the new place.
To manage my systems, I’m using a utility called Synergy with an OS X extension called SynergyKM. The MacBook Pro acts as the server: the display on the left is hooked up to the DVI port on the laptop, and the display on the right is connected to my Vista box.
When I mouse to the right side of the left monitor, the keyboard and mouse focus changes to the PC. (Synergy is running as a client under Vista.)
Finally, here’s a shot of my main PC workstation in its current opened state:

Very cool.

Except for Vista, which is very ugly.
(Sorry, I’m old-school Mac, back to Apple IIe and such. Always have been Mac.)

Vista x64 is the only OS I can use that supports all 4GB of RAM. I pretty much exclusively use that box now to run Eclipse and Visual Studio, and sometimes some oldschool UT2004.
