Synergy

One of the issues I've been unhappy about with the TV is that I needed to have a separate keyboard for the computer TV.  A bit of searching found Synergy.  It provides a facility to remote the keyboard and mouse for a machine.  For my purposes it's just what's wanted so that I can control the TV computer from my laptop.  Now if disk prices would just come down I'd be done with the Fire Comcast TV project.
