Belkin Components' (Compton, CA) OmniView keyboard-controlled switch ($349) is designed for system administrators, LANs with multiple file servers, test labs, and similar applications. The switch enables you to control as many as six PCs with a single monitor, keyboard, and mouse. When you boot each PC, OmniView automatically sends the correct signals to the keyboard and mouse port so that the PCs behave as if they were directly connected to the control hardware. This prevents the PCs from aborting the boot sequence if there happen to be any keyboard errors. After all the PCs are booted, you can then select the unit that you wish to control and view.

is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
