Episode 1027

A Life-Changing Experience
Dick and Leo can't decide if Leo has read a letter from a listener who had a life-changing experience listening to an Audible book about living longer, after he subscribed to Audible because of the Daily Giz Wiz.  Dick doesn't think Leo read it; the chatroom think Leo did; and I agree with Dick.

The J-Files
Eva Laporte helps Leo go through his emails, and she has made a "jerk file" of emails, one of which is from a "long-time listener" living in Japan who has been put off promoting the TWiT network to sections of the American public having to live temporarily overseas, because Leo uttered the words, "I'm no Rush Limborg."  I'm no Rush Limborg either.

Synergy
Ken Fallon, an Irishman in Holland, has been listening since Episode 1.  In keeping with the theme of the show, he will skip all attempts at humour.  In Episode 1019, Dick and Leo discussed the Microsoft Trackball Explorer.  Ken was surprised to hear that Leo currently needs to use 5 mice to operate all his computers in the studio.  Ken has a solution for Leo, a small piece of software called Synergy which runs on Windows, OS X and Linux.  It lets you use one set of mouse and keyboard which moves the cursor to the edge of the screen on the server computer, then across to the screen of the next computer and so on.  Leo uses it on the Skypeasaurus but he can't on all his computers as some of them are on different networks.
