Holy Old Laptop Multimon Batman !

I've been reading Charlie Kindels blog, keeping up to date with his home server projects (boy, CEJ sure does have a ton of data for a home user).

My "dev" PC has three monitors hooked up, excellent for coding, debugging, etc... - but I also use a Tablet PC (Toshiba M200) - wouldn't it just be the coolest thing in the world to add the Tablet PC as a fourth monitor to my dev PC ?

Checkout MaxVista - this is just totally awesome !!

Using MaxiVista, my Tablet PC is the *second* monitor on my dev PC :)

I need a CE version for the viewer;) (Because my monitors boot too slowly;))

Pretty slick!

I have been using Synergy for a few months to share a keyboard and mouse between multiple machines (also moves clipboard data around) -- http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/.

Not exactly the same thing... but solves similar problems. It has been a little flakey (and I noticed yesterday that it seems to have a handle leak!)... but definitely still worth trying out.
