    Their stuff is way overpriced, especially if you need a non-USB, cross-platform solution. It quickly turns into a tangled rat's nest of cables and adapters, all of which had to be bought separately. Just ridiculous.

    If you need a good cross-platform solution, check out a Dr. Bott USB KVM. modestly priced, and they include all the cables you need and are ingeniously designed to handle Mac and PC style monitor connections with no adapters.
