And, let me first say that, in general, the grammar in your articles is excellent. However, the plural of "Ninja" is "Ninjas". Could you please remove that unnecessary apostrophe from future articles? Thanks!

If I had my laptop next to my desktop, by using this program, I could use my desktop's keyboard and mouse to control my laptop without losing one of my desktop's two monitors by using Remote Desktop. I could just move my mouse to my laptop as if it were a third monitor (though of course, I couldn't drag windows and files across because they're still two separate computers) in a fairly seamless way instead of a dedicated Remote Desktop window that would basically mirror what I'm already seeing on my laptop monitor. stephen:
