I've had problems switching between windows and linux boxes; the mouse o
ften died in one or both systems.  I now use an electronic Omnicube 4-port 
switch that I got at Microcenter for a little under $100, including cables. 
It works very well, and I reccomend it.  On the other hand, I'll sell you
my old mechanical switch at the next ALE meeting if you really want it. :)

"The line in this sample program "Shall we play a game?" is from the
1983 movie WarGames, in which a young computer programmer saves mankind
after nearly causing global thermonuclear war. You'll learn how to do
that in the next book of this series, _Teach Yourself to Create
International Incidents with Java in 24 Hours_."
