    3. While Brian's waiting ........ You can connect 1 PC to a switcher which will allow you to use more than one monitor / keyboard combination . There is also a version to connect several PCs to one monitor / keyboard. I can't think that they're any use for the average home. On the subject of sharing 1 PC - not really , unless of course you use Linux and text mode programs. Then you could have 3 users without much difficulty ( 1 on each serial port using terminals like Wyse etc , and one on the normal PC screen ). Regards Dave --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
