+SUMMARY="Mouse and Keyboard sharing software"
+DESCRIPTION="Most people think of their computers as single, isolated units. \
+Our mission is to change that so people think of all their computers as \
+a single seamless system.
+
+Synergy brings your computers together in one cohesive experience; its free \
+and open source cross-platform software for sharing one mouse and keyboard \
+between multiple computers on your desk. It works on Windows, Mac OS X and \
+Linux allowing you to seamlessly move your mouse cursor between computers.
