Luke's suggestions...
Here are another couple of tools that may make your life
easier. Both allow you to use one mouse and keyboard to
control multiple machines on your desk, e.g. your laptop
and desktop machine, or a PC and mac. Both are free.
They work a bit like having multiple screens connected to
the same computer - just move your cursor from one screen
to the other.

- this works with machines running different platforms -
also synchronises the clipboard for copy and paste between
computers.

- this is mac only, but seems to have more features. Drag
and drop works with this too, which means you can even move
files from your desktop machine to your laptop simply by
dragging files from one screen to another.
