"Desktop Rover is great! It's fast, convenient, and easy to use to
control your Pocket PC while it's sitting in your cradle-- no stylus
necessary! The menus and setup are intuitive and just sliding the mouse
off the screen to my Pocket PC is a breeze! Highly recommended! "

"This is BY FAR the best PPC control program and it is highly
underrated! Once you start it, you just move your mouse over to the PPC
sitting next to your computer in its cradle. It's very intuitive! It is
extremely fast and I like the fact that it doesn't take up screen
space. Furthermore, the developer is very responsive to questions,
comments, etc. This is a must have!!! "

"I became hooked within five minutes of using it! Very nice software and a great way to save space. Thanks! "

"I LOVE your software. I have told everyone I know about it. I work in
the IT department for a fortune 500 company, and the word is spreading
fast. Everyone that I show it to can not believe how well it works. I
love how you can copy clipboard items between the machines. It truly
adds the power of all connected computers together."

"Running a massive web site and radio station requires me to have a lot
open at the same time, Email client, IRC clients, every IM out there,
winamp for monitoring our radio streams, web development server, weblog
programs, virus scanners, automation programs, not to even mention the
number of browser pages I have open. I was reaching the limits of the
computer and maxing out the CPU, I was happy with my current computer
and it wasn't really that old so rather than buying a new computer with
a little more power and spending days getting it setup with all my data
and programs I utilized a spare computer to split my CPU power over two
computers. Now I have two screens with two CPU's controller centrally
by one keyboard and mouse thanks to Desktop Rover. It's much better
than KVM's, dual screen setups and VNC / terminal services because the
computers are isolated, if one machine starts to dip in CPU performance
or god forbid crash it does not effect my other machine, I can keep
working, I can now split my CPU intensive programs over two machines
and balance everything centrally. Desktop Rover has improved my
performance 10 fold, a piece of software genius. "

"Thank you very much. This is one of the greatest tools I've ever seen.
Hardware versions of this tool can be very cumbersome and expensive.
Keep up the good work."
Scott Clark, Site Creations, Inc.
"The new killer app on my systems. I would estimate that desktop rover
has earned me back 15-20 minutes a day in improved fluidity and
productivity with my web design machines. I use two 22" monitors and
have previously using a clunky and noisy KVM switch to juggle tasks.
Now my computers are a symphony of productivity."
Dave M. (Horsham, Pennsylvania)
"I do NOT find many applications are worth my time, BUT your DESKTOP
ROVER is a "GREAT" application. I tried it for a week then purchased a
3 machine license. I can not say enough good things about how I am
pleased about how it works. Good job! It is well worth the small cost.
Thanks"
Karl De Abrew, CEO, BinaryThing
"I was thrilled to find that a product I had long been dreaming of
actually existed. Our development team enjoys using Desktop Rover to
perform development and testing with a single mouse and keyboard on two
completely separate physical machines. Our product support team uses
Desktop Rover to manage a high volume of email by operating multiple
email clients concurrently. In short, Desktop Rover allows my team to
work with multiple computers as if they are one which greatly enhances
their productivity."
Mike G. (Nanaimo, British Columbia)
"I'm a recent purchaser of Desktop Rover and I'm delighted with it.
I've been struggling with 3 keyboards for years, always wishing I could
find the extra money for a KVM switch. Now with nothing but your
software, I have easy access to all 3 of my computers and I even have
transparent remote copy and paste. It's really like having one big
integrated multiprocessor desktop. Thanks!"
Don S. (Ottawa, Ontario)
"I have been using Desktop Rover now for over 4 years. It has worked
faithfully through several new computers and even Operating Systems. I
am now using your version, 2.0 with the new features. Slowly I am
starting to get used to being able to copy something to the clipboard
on one computer and paste it on another. I have worked so long without
that feature that I don't always remember it is available. But what a
work saver it is! It is enabling me to modify my work habits to make
things even more convenient and efficient. I really want to thank you,
Desktop Rover is the most important piece of software on my machines,
and it is rock solid too. It is an amazing tool that anyone who uses
more than one computer or is even thinking of using more than one
computer must have. Without it you just cannot achieve safe ergonomics.
Reaching for that second or third keyboard is a disaster for the neck
and shoulders. With Desktop Rover, that is no longer a problem. Thanks
again."
Martin B.
"I have tried your rover desktop program and love it! It works fine on Windows 2000. ..."
Rolf S. (San Antonio, Texas)
"Just wanted to drop a note, and say "WOW!" This has got to be one of
the most exciting tools (Desktop Rover) I've ever seen -- for us
multi-computer junkies! Thanks. Money well spent."
If you are using Desktop Rover in a unique or interesting way please share it with us so we can share it with our customers. Thank You.

* SHAREWARE: DESKTOP ROVER
(contributed by Jonathan Chau, jjc@winntmag.com)
Are you looking for an easy way to control multiple computers from one
main system? Desktop Rover acts as a keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) switch,
letting you use one main system as a mouse and keyboard server to
control other consoles on your TCP/IP network. Desktop Rover turns all
your monitors into one giant virtual desktop. Want to launch an
application on another system? Simply move the mouse cursor off of the
server's screen and onto the other computer's desktop and you're
controlling the second system. This is an excellent program for those
who work with multiple systems.
