Quick review and plug for Kavoom's ExtraMon software.

Set up new configuration for the boss, where he wanted a Desktop along with
his Laptop.  Wanted to be able to carry data around on the laptop, but
process it on a big desktop box (big in speed/ram), but use only 1
KB/Mouse, but have dual monitors, one for each box, PLUS have the ability
to have either box go dual screen.

ExtraMon does exactly that.  After installation and starting the software
on each computer, a "switch" panel appears, and has 2 buttons,
one for each computer.  So, on the Laptop, if you click the Desktop
computers name, the screen from the laptop switches to become the expanded
screen from the desktop.  Mouse scrolls over, works just like a dual
monitor system.  Same from the Desktop, you can control which computer the
desktop is showing. It's own primary screen, or the secondary for the
Laptop.

When in single screen for each computer, scrolling the mouse from one to
the other, causes the keyboard to follow to that computer, as well, so it's
like having 2 computer desktops, with only 1 mouse/keyboard.

By mapping shared folders from the laptop to the desktop, he can open
spreadsheets, word doc's, etc on the desktop, manipulate/process, etc, and
just save, and it saves back to his laptop, no file syncing issues to deal
with at all.

The software also has the ability to use the Windows Clipboard to
copy/paste between the 2 computers.

Nice software, runs totally across the network.
