2 monitors and keyboards?

[rugeleyboy]

is it possible to run two monitors and two keyboards off the same computer tower???

if so.............. what do i need to do so??

TIA

Well, certainly on Macs you can have several monitors - so for graphics programmes for instance you could have all the pallettes etc on one and the drawing on the other.

Laptops can obviously have full sized keyboards added from a usb port. The question might be why you'd want that on a normal computer?

i have a partition in my shop and my office has the main comp but now i have a comp in my shop for invoices and the like........................... the problem i have is that i would have to upgrade my sage for it to run on 2 computers and i dont want the hassle!!!!

So what you mean is not so much that you want to connect 2 screens and keyboards, as that you want 2 people to access the same computer. Does it need simultaneous access? If not then a KVM switch will do the job - assuming that the machines are reasonably close together. But you might find that a decent KVM switch will set you back as much as the upgrade cost for Sage. Another alternative would be to use PcAnywhere or similar remote control software, assuming that the machines are already networked together.

hi, yes they are networked together and they are aprox 6ft apart?

In that case you could use VNC to take control of one computer from the other (and thus run your Sage).
