Are you seriously suggesting that the rest of us can't join in to other 
discussions?

Actually, 'PC' doesn't mean it will work with a KVM switch. I have 2 PCs 
on my desk, AFAIK I couldn't use a VM switch, at least not a normal, 
commercial one, to eliminate one of the keyboards and monitors. For 
reference the 2 machines are the much-hacked PC/AT with MDA display I am 
typing this on, and a PC/XT with CGA display. Both have the original IBM 
keyboards.

Sure, and in a lot of cases that's a perfectly reasonable solution. It 
doesn't work foe all of us.

Well, only if you don't want some of us pointing out it doesn't work in 
_all_ cases.
