I need to register a dissenting vote against Belkin here. For a couple of
years I used a Belkin OmniView (not an SE as far as I can tell) that
suffered from a number of problems, mostly related to poor wheel mouse
support, even in NT. Linux was very problematic with this switchbox, so I
took the route of having a full-time mouse for each box. The othe problem
was the ergonomics of the OmniView were horrible...little teeny buttons
located next to the bottom of the case. Ugh.
I now have a Cybex SwitchView and it works like a champ. We use hundreds
of switchboxes at work, and we're much happier with the Cybex products.

Before the invention of eruptions, lava had to be carried down the mountain
by hand and thrown on the sleeping villagers. This took a lot of time.
