4/25    I'm looking for a box that will let me use the same keyboard and
        mouse on multiple machines - I was wondering if anyone has
        seen one that supports the latest Logitech mice? (like the
        Mouseman Wheel) - everything that I have seen so far only supports
        very basic (microsoft) mice.  Thanks! - mds
        \_ The decent boxes from BlackBox should support everything.
           The cheesy "four wires and a switch" boxes might not.  -tom
           \_ This is true. I bought this generic switch box from Fry's,
              attempting to share keyboard / mouse between my PC and UNIX
              station, but whenever I switch back to the UNIX box, the mouse
              refuses to work until I unplug/replug the mouse cable.
        \_ My company just bought some OmniView PRO 8-Port boxes by Belkin.
           One box lets you connect the same keyboard, mouse (serial or PS/2)
           and monitor to up to eight PCs.  -- yuen
           \_ I use several Omniview-PRO 8 ports in colocation sites.  They
              are very useful, and if you interconnect them you can manage
              upto 64 machines from a single keyboard+monitor station.
              KVM switches in general are often expensive, but the omniviews
              look to be amon the cheapest. If you want to search out other
              options, do a web search for KVM switch.  Slashdot also had
              an article not too long ago on KVM setups.  -ERic

2/19    I program a lot by sshing to a Linux cluster.  So I'm used to using
        Xemacs to code.  This works fine from a Linux or Windows workstation,
        but sometimes I have to use a Mac.  On Mac, the meta is usually
        bound to option, but that often doesn't work over ssh for some reason.
        This makes using emacs a real pain.  Any suggestions on how to fix it?
        (Other than "use vi")

8/29    There was once a CSUA web page which runs an SSH client for logging
        on to soda.  Does that page still exist?  Can someone remind me of the
        URL please?  Thx.
        \_ what do you mean? instruction on how to ssh into soda?
           \_ No I think he means the ssh applet, which, iirc, was an applet
              that implemented an ssh v1 client.  I think this page went away

12/21   In Emacs, how do I make it so that it will resize its screen
        when the maximum resolution of my monitor changes? When I
        use my laptop, my emacs is too big (and I can't resize it
        because the bottom-right corner is not accessible).
        \_ Which OS?  Can't you drag the top border (not a corner) to resize
           the height to be smaller?

           hardware look just like the fans these days.

8/1     Where is the mac desktop going to go? It seems all the development
        in sw/hw now is for the iphone, imac.  2 finger Gestures won't work
        on the desktop.  What happened to the xserve line?
        \_ Two finger gestures DO work on the desktop.  Have you used a new
           Apple laptop lately...they support up to 5 finger gestures.
           \_ you're making my point even harder, do the 5 finger gestures

5/26    Finished Braid; beautiful game. Good job, blojo. Looking forward to
        the Next Thing; will be more than happy to kick out another $15
        for quality like this. --erikred
        \_ I hate this game. I've been up until 1AM the last two nights.
           Normally I go to bed around 11:30PM. Sooo tired. But it is
           beautiful. First PC game I've purchased in 9 years.

2/20    I'm using Cygwin/X on XP.  All the X indows (xterm, emacs)
        seem to have a keyboard repeat rate and a repeat delay that's different
        than the one XP uses for other Windows apps.  When I do "mode con
        rate=xx delay=yy", it only changes Windows apps but not the X apps.
        How do I change the keyboard repeat rate and delay for X?  Thanks.
        \_ man xset
