The Discussion

Bas It was Ian (and ChadK, according to the second episode).
Man, the show was dark back then.
I love how the pictures for that endoscope get gradually more gross, by the way. -
Chadk Damn, I'm too slow.
But yeah, Ian and I came up with it. -
Dan We have a winner!
Bas - Can you email me a mailing address (dan.fernandez.no-spam@microsoft.com (remove the "no-spam") to send you the book? -
Bas Done. Thanks guys! -

radekg Synergy is really great piece of software. I'm using it for about 2 years now. You can set up 9 screens next to each other in the simpliest setup. What is really great, it is cross platform. You can operate Linux box(es), Windows box(es) and Mac box(es) at the same time with one mouse and one keyboard.

briankel Are you running 9 screens? If so, I want to see pictures!
Another clever use of Synergy: Hook it up to control your Media Center PC. That way you can use your laptop on your couch, and slide your cursor out to control the Media Center remotely.
