All you need to do is run out to CompUSA or go online and purchase a KVM switch. Basically, this will allow you to hook up a mouse, keyboard and monitor to two different machines. Most of the units have a button on the front which will switch from one system to the other, and in most cases you can just press the Ctrl+Alt keys to switch. Here is a link to the type I use (but I use mine to connect 4 systems, you'll only need the one that connects 2 systems).

Good Luck.

The method to link 2 computers with serial cable?

To link 2 computers you should have cross cable. Because Serial cable is user to connect 2 or more dissimilar devices. To connect 2 similar devices like computers, Hubs, Switches you should use Cross cable only.In Serial cable 4 pairs of cables are their, 2 pairs for Transmitting and 2 pairs for Receiving the Data. If you use serial cable to connect 2 computers, Conflict will happen while sending and receiving the data. In cross cable 2 pairs of cable will be in a different order so conflict won't happen. So use Cross Cable while connecting 2 similar devices.

Why do computers use 2s not 10s?

Computers are only capable of differentiating between two possible states. That is: a switch is either on or off; a capacitor is either full of charge or it is empty; a score upon an optical disc is either long or short; there is either a flux transition or there is not; there is either a hole punched at a position on a card or there is not. All are valid ways of representing binary values and all are or have been used by computers at one time or another. We use 1s and 0s, but computers cannot; they are simple machines, they have no actual intelligence whatsoever. They have to use mechanic representations.
