A Switchbox for Monitor?

[Ifish25]

Is there a hub available that will switch monitor to a different computer? I am continually having to crawl under my desk and run my hand up the wall to pull the monitor cord down and then rethread it to my old PBell on the other side of desk. The ferrite core always hangs. My scanner has developed a bellyache for my new system and I suspect a hardware conflict somewhere, so I want to use my ole' PBell to do the scanner work. Between lying on my back , fighting off a friendly cat or two, and trying not to electricute myself, this has really gotten old.

By the way, let us have a moment of silence for BipolarBill. By the time he reads this he will have posted 3000 times. That is a lot of saddle sores.

You asked for it!

You need a KVM switch. This one's cheap and it works:

I say "cheap" because the beefy ones are over $100 with no cables!

Did I make it?

Check above. If all you want is a manual VGA switch for two computers using a single monitor, each using an idependent keyboard and mouse...$9! Add $12 for two cables. I might get one myself. I don't like viewing my backup computer on a 15" monitor.
