Re[2]: Re: KVM switches

[Ho Yin Ng <yahoogroups@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok I have decided not to buy a Belkin.

The reviews you lot have given me and reviews on ebuyer are basically the

The linksys seems the best .. but it is PS2 only ... and my mac has no
PS2!!!

Andy ...

Where can I get this Gem Adderview KVM from?
