That's wonderful, except I don't think that the ADB standard defines a way
to tell which keypress comes from which keyboard.  Besides, even on the
Macintosh, with the Monitor CDev, the idea is that you spread one desktop
across two displays.  I think a far more useful idea in the same vein is
to run a text screen in one, and a graphics screen in the other.
That'd be neat if something like Fractint-GS came around (or is there such
a thing?  ;) )
