Default Re: What's the uptime of your computer(s) ?

not a problem at all, my lad.

I have a very complex workstation.
5 computers in single workstation might seem a little overboard, but to me it is not. Every computer has its different uses, and each one helps out on my Home Network. If I am working on something for my site then I would do it on my MBP. If i want to IM and do a little myspace and such, id do it on another.

Maybe its just that Its fun to show off 5 screens to all my friends ^_^. although, five keyboards and five mouses didnt really work for me, so i set up a automatic KVM switch, that connects to each computer simutaniously. This way, I use a single mouse and keyboard for every computer, and have it switch back and forth automatically when I move my mouse from one screen to another. Oh, and the mouse disappears when it does ^_^ so it looks like a mulitmonitor setup as well ^_^ (except my Ubuntu machine, the mouse CANT disappear =\).

I have a seperate 20" widescreen Cinema display for each computer. My labtops (dell inspiron, toshiba sattelite, and MBP connect to them as well, well hidden in a draw

I share everything on every computer on my network. This is cool, because I can have a CD in my PC and see it and play it in my MPB, all without touching my optical drive in my MPB in the draw ^_^.

Its very complicated, and there is much more to my setup...If you would like, I can explain everything in a seperate post, in more detail and in vauge dialog.
