KVM recommendation

Hello Greg,

I have experience with Linksys 2-port, 4-port and BlackBox 4-port
KVMs.

The Linksys ones have very little signal loss, but you have to push
the button on the KVM-unit.

The blackbox KVM has significant signal loss at 1024x768 but supports
"keyboard-switching". I personally am not so hot on it, as the
key-combination of hitting CTRL twice then followed by a letter does
NOT like FPS-games at all. (especially if you have "fire" or "jump" on
CTRL.)
