I am assuming it can be done because I saw a someone at my job do it with his desk top and his lap top. However, he was using Pcs.

Sooo cool it can be upgraded. How much ram and what exactly is a hdd? You mean hard drive disk?

what is optical?

And, what about the processor?

Can't. The guy you saw do this was using a laptop with an external monitor. One computer, not two.

Get Synergy from http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ and setup one computer as the server (the one with the mouse and keyboard) and the other one as client. Edit the configuration file, start synergy on the server, then on the client. Unfortunately the OSX version does not have a GUI, but the Windows version does. I use it at work between my iMac (server) and windows laptop (client). There's some flakiness, but it works well enough.

Holy crap. I stand corrected.
