[NTLUG:Discuss] Synergy 1.0.8

[Paul Drew]

After reading this email, I too went and checked it out. I also was able to 
install, configure, and begin using this very quickly with litle fuss. I am 
very VERY happy to have found this product. Life is so much simpler, and 
more efficient. :) You always hear about waiting for the killer app, and I 
gotta say this is one of those killer apps. I am constantly hopping from 
machine to machine, and the shared clipboard is priceless.
