Among power computer users, dual monitors are quickly becoming the rule rather than the exception. It's incredibly handy to have multiple computer screens to manage dozens of browser windows but it doesn't take long to get quickly get irritated at switching back and forth between them all the time. Synergy is a great little open source tool for getting your computer screens working together so you can manage all of them with a single keyboard and mouse.
Once installed, Synergy lets you arrange screens on top of each other, side-by-side, or perched on opposite ends of your desk. Use your mouse to make the cursor jump effortlessly from screen to screen, and even cut and paste between screens without any hassle. Synergy also makes sure all your screen savers start and stop at the same time. If your screen saver requires a password to shut off, you'll only need to enter it on one screen to access all of them.
