Flip switch in order to use 2 computers - Precious


Posted: Oct 29, 2012

Just bought Flip USB with audio KVM switch in order to be able to have 1 dedicated computer for work only and the other computer for unrelated work items. Have never used one of these before and just wondering if you were in your work program on 1, if you switch over to the other computer for say checking email, does the work computer shut down? I would hate for that to happen and perhaps lose work. Thanks.

I use a KVM and have never had a problem with keeping programs open on either computer until I started using Powerscribe 360. If I am logged in on PS360 and switch over to second computer, when I come back the program closes out, but not the VPN connection.

The KVM simply switches the input/output for your Keyboard, Video, and Mouse from one computer to another. It does not shut down a computer.

Hubby and I use them all the time in our recycling business.

...budgets, forced early retirements, repossessed cars, mental distress...none of it matters to them. No supervisor has ever been held accountable for their deception, and no HR person fired for covering up for the crooked supes, indeed; the supes are given advice as to how best get rid of people without firing anyone. Just switch their pools, change the accounts they type on, they'll leave on their own. Your replacement is already being recruited and hired, people!  One week ago, a r ...

Question- Order Of Headings In Consult/H&P
Aug 26, 2012

This comes through in ASR and so I have been leaving these at the beginning of the report even though it is not the way I was taught to do traditional H&P, consultation reports.
