 No it's not a hello kity vibrator, it's a switchbox that
 lets me flip between computers using the same monitor, mouse
 and keyboard. I hit scroll lock twice to go from Windows to
 Linux or vice versa.
 
 Now I can play around with Samba and Apache and MySQL on the
 Linux box and develop frontend stuff on Windows. And perhaps
 more importantly, I can browse the web on the slow machine
 while ripping CDs on the fast one.

 | Where have you been? These have been around since about 1942. Maybe not in a cleverly small package like that but
 all the same.

 | The cleverly small and might I add inexpensive package is what sold me.
 
 Now I'm afraid it's already started: anyone I show says "Why
 do you need two computers?" or, more annoyingly, "You don't
 need two computers".
 
 My uncle will want to take the "extra" one and do something
 disgusting and ham raidio-ish with it.
