Laptop + Desktop Productivity

I love the way laptop keyboards feel, but when I'm at my apartment, I need to use my desktop computer too. However, I don't like having to switch between both pairs of keyboards and mice. I've found a solution in Synergy, though. The program allows me to share the mouse and keyboard with my desktop like my laptop was another monitor. Just move my cursor off of my laptop screen, and it shows up on my desktop monitor. The only drawback is that I can't move windows between the laptop and desktop. When combined with folder and printer sharing over the network, it feels like I'm using one big computer. Try it.
