W, you might wanna checkout Logitech's products. They don't have a product yet for using w/ multple CPUs but their cordless products are an excellent addition to any trading system. I have used their cordless devices for a couple years now and you can have 2 cordless mice (for example) off one PS2 port. I love Logitech stuff, its highly configurable (or not if you're a simpleton like me). Hope this helps. Good luck. Best wishes and regards, SH

The kind of keyboard / mouse switch that you are talking about are very common. They are called a CPU switch. But rather than have a mouse or keyboard with two ends, they take one mouse, keyboard, and monitor (if you want) and allow you to control many different computers. They usually start in configurations for control of 2 PC's, and then 4, 8, and then up. The most common use is in server farms where many monitors and keyboards would really get in the way. Here is a link to one that I use at work. linksys.com Blackbox also has many different configurations. blackbox.com Very good item. For trading you would only want to hook up the keyboard and mouse, and leave your monitors connected all the time. Good Luck Dan
