Use a laptop as a keyboard, monitor, and mouse - finally!

When I used to fix people's computers, it seems like a lot of the time I couldn't rely on their KVM working, and had to lug around my own. It occured to me at the time that it would be really cool to use a laptop for the purpose: after all, it has all the necessary components in a nice, easy to carry package. And now Epiphan has done it:

It's a small $400 USB 2.0 box that does frame capture and sends keyboard and mouse signals (which are also recorded, hopefully). What a great way to audit PC repairs!
