Yeah - but I don't have anything else with a VGA monitor on it now  
and I really wanted to get rid of the KVM clutter. I finally decided  
to just turn the monitor off and yank it to see what happens. It  
seems to be OK. With VNC, it would be really convenient to put one of  
these in a stereo cabinet as a media box (if they had an iMac style  
remote control).
