[DM-MUG] Monitor switch

[Stuart Thiessen]

It is a KVM switch. Keyboard/Video/Mouse. You will want to be sure you get one that fits the 2 computers. Some are PS/2  or USB for the keyboard and mouse. We have one at work for a PC.

Some monitors with a DVI input and a VGA input will accept two computers directly. I use one like that at work. That's worth checking before getting a switch.

My  son-in-law has a single monitor and two computers. He wishes to 
use the monitor on one machine but when he wants to use the other 
switch to the other computer without unplugging the monitor. I have 
heard of such a switch but cannot remember what it is called.
