Combining computers?

So I came across a program called MaxiVista, which turns one computer into a monitor for another computer. This is sorta cool, but it got me to thinking, this would be way cooler if the monitor (computer) still had a use of it's keyboard/input. I say this because I have a touch screen netbook, and would like to put my desktop on it.

Has anyone heard of this? I know that MaxiVista will (someday) release an update for the iPad to make it a touchscreen monitor, which is sorta what I want to do, but also add a keyboard.

A pretty good example of what I want
Another

Both of these work for the ipad, but nothing for another laptop.

Maybe Teamviewer works for you? You don't even have to install it (though you can if you want).

rdp is a built-in Windows feature, fairly easy to enable. Latency is going to be a problem, though.

Relatively ancient and inactive

Windows Live Mesh could do this, last time I tried. They may have combined it with Windows Live Sync by now, though, I remember there was a reshuffling.

Oh_Man -- No APM in chess. Computer just outthinks the human by seeing more moves ahead and more permutations

Oh_Man -- U reckon? Kasparov waa defeated by computer decades ago

NimoStar -- If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface
[05:34 pm]
NimoStar -- Well. The bot didn't come up with any new strategy. It just has superhuman micro. Hard to beat that. I reckon even the simplest dedicated chess engines are unbeatable for humans now.

Oh_Man shouted: NudeRaider did u watch the entire video? it's not one game. it's currently dominating the ladder at number 1 position. do ur research first!
Oops, caught me there, no I haven't. :( I was imagining how the game went. Sorry for that. Watching it now. brb

NudeRaider -- NimoStar
NimoStar shouted: They were not "Unprepared" that was their fifth loss in a row against the bot. The other replays are also available
that doesn't mean he was prepared. When humans come around with new strategies it often takes weeks until the pros figure out how to shut it down. Oh_Man that's certainly a way more convincing argument for micro being "too good to beat".
