Double-Duty Desktop
Looking for an easy way to share a desktop PC's monitor and keyboard with a laptop? Belkin's wireless Flip KVM switch permits your notebook--or a second desktop--to use not only your PC's monitor, mouse, and keyboard, but its speakers as well. A cordless remote about half the size of a mouse lets you toggle between computers. The $60 wireless version supports only USB keyboards and mice, but wired models support PS/2 connectors.
