  MaxiVista 'Laptop as Monitor' Impressions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)

I understand that MaxiVista only supports one client monitor at a time, but it'd be nice to be able to switch heads from the source machine.
In general, I like MaxiVista a lot, if mainly because it finally gives me something to tell all those people who ask me what they can do with old laptops (because of the way the LCD panels in laptops connect to the video hardware, there really isn't a practical way to extract and reuse them).
