Dear Russell; I used a simple KVM switch that I got at buy.com: http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10333399&loc=101&sp=1 I used it between a Macintosh G4 Quicksilver and my Dell PC, sharing a single keyboard, mouse, and monitor. The only thing I lost was the multimedia buttons on the keyboard and the scroll on the mouse after I'd performed my first switch. I was using a standard PC monitor, know, I take that back. I was using a Dell 15-inch flat panel monitor to run both machines and a Logitech Cordless keyboard and mouse. I hope this helps... Valerie On 10/21/04 4:05 PM, "C.
