Synergy and Tablet PC

Synergy is one of the best open source utilities I have used in a long time. It allows you to share a single keyboard and mouse with multiple computer, including between Windows, Mac and Linux.

What you do is set it up and a “master” computer with the keyboard and mouse then set it up on your other computers. I set it up on my Tablet PC, I placed my Tablet PC with the screen swiveled around so it looked like the Tablet PC was just another screen. See the pic below.

What I really like is I can put the Tablet PC to sleep and it does not effect the master computer and when it wakes up I don’t even have to reconnect, it just works. Oh yeah, it allows copy, copy and paste between computers!
