I'm looking for a solution to be able to have 2 keyboards 2 mouse and 2 monitors plugged on my PC to allow 2 people to use it simutaneously, one on each monitor.

Anyone have any ideas? JAWM??

I never heard of that being able to work, but I've been out of the technology circle for a while. Who knows.

I don't know how to do it, but essentially you are making your PC tower into a server and networking both monitors too it. As long as your PC is capable of running both monitors and both WOW programs (take a good look at your vid card since its normally what fails), you should be fine. You need to find someone who knows how to set up homeoffices.

The only way I can see this working is if you create two virtual machines on the one computer. If you are using the same instance of windows one mouse and keyboard will take presidence over the other and not allow it to do anything when you are doing anything with the other keyboard/mouse.

Now, am I willing to pay 13 bucks to see if they have the solution? I don't think they really do...
