Yes, I am just idiot enough not to figure out
that I needed to click that button after each time
I set up the line of drop-downs... just because it is
totally NOT MENTIONED in the instructions:

-------- cut here -------- cut here -----------

Windows
On Windows run synergy by double clicking on the synergy file. This brings up a dialog. Configure the server:

* Click the Share this computer's keyboard and mouse (server) radio button  
* Click the Screens & Links Configure... button  
* Click the + button to add the server to the Screens list  
      o Enter the name of server (the computer's name is the recommended name)  
      o Optionally enter other names the server is known by  
      o Click OK   
* Use the + button to add your other computers  
      o Using a computer's name as its screen name is recommended  
      o Choose desired screen options on the Add Screen dialog   
* Use the controls under Links to link screens together  
      o Click (once) on the server's name in the Screens list  
      o Choose the screen to the left of the server; use --- if there is no screen to the left of the server  
      o Choose the screens to the right, above and below the server  
      o Repeat the above steps for all the other screens   
* Click OK to close the Screens & Links dialog   

------ cut here -------- cut here -----------

Yeah, I was dumb enough to carefully follow the instructions......

What a dufus!!!!!!

If you think I'm the only one, or if you like to get
people getting Synergy is a another s**t open source
half-baked attempt at a good idea, then leave it just
the way it is.

[Oh, and don't do anything to label the the "+" buttons, make them bigger, or add a warning hint. ]

Write me if you ever feel like it:
