I just picked up a digital KVM switch to let me use my now "headless" TiBook with the same monitor as my PC. A single switch changes over keyboard, mouse, and video connection. This is a newer generation digital switch that supports USB 2.0 and it just rocks.
I find myself mystified by the poor product reviews given by some people but in reading them, it appears that they refer to earlier versions. This one (so far) seems pretty bulletproof.
Previously, I had a few of the mechanical KVM switches and they lasted only about 6 months before crapping out.
Now I can finally get back to editing my photography library, tossing out the dross, sorting it properly, and starting to print. I still have to profile my new Vizio 22" monitor but I don't imagine that will prove too difficult. More difficult will be sorting through 80GB plus of digital negatives (most scanned from film).
That, and I will have to get back to scanning my large format and medium format negatives. Spring is almost here and I want this to be a photographic summer.
