Assignment: Describe an artifact that you “love” and why you love it.

I am a huge fan of a small piece of software called Synergy. Here’s a pretty good explanation of what it does:

As someone who works in IT I spend a lot of time moving between devices and platforms. Before Synergy my desk was cluttered with multiple keyboard and cursor control input devices. But now that I use Synergy I can use a single keyboard and trackpad to control both my Mac and Windows machines seamlessly. I’m not sure if you can really “love” a piece of software, but with Synergy I come pretty darn close.
