Making a multi-PC environment more productive
As noted in a previous post (go search for it using the search window in the upper right if you must), I now use Synergy for my multiple PC/Laptop home office environment. (FYI - I now simultaneously enjoying and struggling with a T61p wide screen as my primary terminal).
The one thing that irks me is the lack of of the middle mouse button (aka scrolls wheel) feature that is intrinsic on Thinkpads.
The best (and for now reasonably acceptable) solution is the use a Firefox and Thunderbird plug-in called Grab-n-Drag. It only covers the scroll feature of browsing and email, but since one of my machines is predominantly just that, it covers things pretty well. I hope to figure our a configuration for scrol wheel support across the “now 4 thinkpads” sooner or later but in the mean time, one machine is much happier !
