If you happen to have a few computers near your desk, or frequently have a laptop sitting next to your desktop computer; Synergy is very useful software you should know about.
Synergy lets you treat adjacent computers and their screens as if they were a multi-display computer. Your keyboard and mouse movements, and cut&paste buffers are copied from one machine to the others over LAN connections (tunneled through ssh for security), and you can drive several machines from one keyboard and mouse.
You can also cut and paste from one OS to another (I have Windows XP, three Macs, and Linux side by side at work). It replaces Teleffect and Cosmo Synergy (Irix and Windows applications that did much the same thing a decade ago).
