It's a common problem for plenty of techie type people, or at least it is for me: i find myself with about 5 computers on my desk, and i want to see every screen. Of course, in this instance, a KVM is not really a great option, but I also don't want to have 5 keyboards to choose between. Another common scenario is when I have to use my laptop and a desktop computer simultaniously, and a third all too frequent desire is to be able to cut and paste between multiple machines. There is a solution that solves all of these problems, and is completely cross-platform to boot: Synergy.

Earlier today my wife got an email claiming to be a warning about a big virus claimed to be "the worst ever."

I've done some research and you should be aware that this notice is a hoax and is in fact a copy of a much older hoax from a few years ago. more information about this particular hoax is at about.com's urban legend section - http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_postcard_virus.htm.
