My coworker introduced me to an awesome piece of software called Synergy. It allows you to use the same keyboard and mouse on several computers; you can just push your mouse to the edge of one screen and move it onto the next computer as though they were connected. The software works on all of Windows, Linux, and OS X, so you really have no excuse, except a dearth of computers, for not using it. The software was last updated in 2006, though, so you might have to convince some folks to pick up development. That, or you can start a company to continue development and sell support for the software; they even have a roadmap on the website for new features and feature requests. The macro environment may be negative, though; the trend is towards fewer computers using Virtual Machines, not more. (At least in some places.)
