Currently I
use both a PC and a Mac, and switch between them via
a KVM switch. Both are equipped with Ethernet cards to connect into

select either the PC or the Mac, but it didn't quite work the way I
expected it to.
As in you have to boot fresh after switching? I'd also
like to go further, and have the Mac and PC read each other's
hard drives (still, while keeping outside users out)
