I control six (count-'em) PCs and Macs with one keyboard, mouse and screen.
You have to use PC devices, and the right click button is useless on the
Macs. Plus, you lose the "power" button, though you can route a second mac
keyboard to get the functionality back. The Mac-to-PC peripheral conversion
box is made by Guardian. Several companies make PC switchers. I am not in
my office now, but e-mail me if you want more info.
