Pity my 2nd PC is behind me.

I use a mirror (bought at an opticians when I was trying contact lenses) on my desk at the side of my main monitor to keep an eye on the other PC.

The 2nd pc (XP2600+, Geforce Ti4200) has a wireless keyboard and mouse so I can control it when i need to from the desk of my main PC though it can get a bit confusing due to the image being backwards in the mirror.

This tool sounds handy, but i'd still have the reserved screen problem, need to check if there's anyway to make my 2nd pc display its picture reversed :)

Current setup is pretty handy when I'm levelling tradeskills, can do something more interesting at the same time ;)

Guess i'll just stick to controlling multiple pc's until they could get it to output the screen of the other pc to main pc as well.

Useful program in many situations though.

That team wizzie guy should get sponsorship from dell. Can't believe how clean his desk is though - mines covered in all sorts of crap.

how fast is this? ie, is the client on 2nd pc "playable"? not talking about rvr, but such as buffbot in pve where u have to heal.

currently i'm using tightvnc, but cant get it to work fast enough (got latest beta, tried diff settings, using 8bit colors, have 100mbit between the pcs, etc)... still quite bad fps, for example panning around is very slow.

when the cursor is on the second pc, hit scroll lock (between pause and print screen) to lock the cursor to that monitor, after that it wont be jumpy

this program isnt "remote desktop", it just shares your mouse and keyboard to 2+ computers over a network

each computer has to have a monitor

Still not working properly..
I use the ctrl button for mouselook and when i press it down char keeps spinning left if cursor was on left side of screen and vice versa.
