I try to give credit where it is due and in this case, I was ridiculously excited about iacas at nslog.com for pointing this out (see my comment on his post). There are a few things I like about Synergy:
a) It is small - I like small, simple programs.
b) it works - I like programs that work
c) it hasn't broken my PowerBook - I like programs that don't break my PowerBook
You might wonder why I would make ridiculously obvious statements like those above. Well, with many years of computer use under my belt (between Windows, Unix and Mac, I think I have had a good amount of exposure), I have encountered my share of programs that you would think were simple, but simply sucked. That people continue to insist on bloat and options they will never use is beyond me, but hey, this is Amiland (the German nickname for America) and we like things big... (Take that any way you want to, by the way.) Well, I've learned my lesson and I like things simple... big only when necessary (or when it is a car).
Anyway, I digress. Thank you iacas for pointing this one out to me!
