Just came across this: http://www.dualosx.com/dualosx_en.htm

A program that allows you to use two mice at the same time....

Can't wait to try out the linux version when it comes :)

Wouldn't using once mouse be way easier?

that would be useful... if I could use my left hand with the same skills as my right...

or maybe. if you connect your computer with your TV, and then your kids can play games on the same maschine - economic

That's easy, just break your right hand and you'll have no choice but to get better with your left (sigh, keyboard jockeys shouldn't punch stuff :rolleyes: )

that would be interesting to have a program that would allow that sort of functionality. Have a keyboard and mouse attached to one program like your word processor, etc. so that you could do your work and have the other keyboard + mouse attached to a game or something so someone could do something else like play a game or surf the web on another monitor.

That would indeed be very economic, as many times I find myself having to get up off my PC to let one of my friends play a PC game.. with this I could be like "ok you play with that mouse and keyboard and I will do my python programming and web-surfing over here.
" that type of functionality = awesome
That is a pretty cool concept.. although I wonder if it would be possible to do that without requiring a dual core processor.. because not everyone has those right now..

I hope they bring this to Windows XP and Ubuntu as I will not be upgrading to Vista until it is absolutely necessary to do so. By the way does anyone know when the Linux and Windows versions of this are slated to release?
