[Web4lib] two keyboards and two mouse on on PC

[McMahon, Daniel]

If all of the users can sit somewhat near the CPU, using USB keyboards
and mice should allow multiple devices to work simultaneously.  This
assumes that they are working on (different parts of?) the same desktop.
If the users need to be more distributed, then VNC would probably be a
better choice.
