|

|
|---|
| 14 | The first incarnation of synergy was CosmoSynergy, created by
|
|---|
| 15 | Richard Lee and Adam Feder then at Cosmo Software, Inc., a
|
|---|
| 16 | subsidiary of SGI (nee Silicon Graphics, Inc.), at the end of
|
|---|
| 17 | 1996. They wrote it, and Chris Schoeneman contributed, to
|
|---|
| 18 | solve a problem: most of the engineers in Cosmo Software had
|
|---|
| 19 | both an Irix and a Windows box on their desks and switchboxes
|
|---|
| 20 | were expensive and annoying. CosmoSynergy was a great success
|
|---|
| 21 | but Cosmo Software declined to productize it and the company
|
|---|
| 22 | was later closed.
|
|---|
| 23 | </p><p>
|
|---|
| 24 | Synergy is a from-scratch reimplementation of CosmoSynergy.
|
|---|
| 25 | It provides most of the features of the original and adds a
|
|---|
| 26 | few improvements.
