Well, they are sneaky sons of a gun, it seems.  AFTER I paid,  they said
"We're working hard to develop Synergy 3 into stable software. Please
bear with us while we complete this phase of development. If you have
any problems, then please either contact us for technical support or use
Synergy 1 instead."

And sure enough it didn't install on the laptop and didn't give any
indication why.  When I tried the desktop, it said that Firefox had
either to be closed or the PC rebooted later. It actually gave a list
100 items long, all of them Firefox.  (I 10 windows of FF with well over
100 tabs.) I closed Firefox and it installed, so I went back to the
first computer and closed FF and it installed. 

But then it wouldn't work.  The cursors were each trapped in their own
monitor.   I fiddled for almost an hour, restarted the computers, read
everything on their webpage,finally put in a request for help.  And
then, though I had done nothing more, it started to work. 

Right now it's working pretty well!!!  I think I like it.  Thanks again.
Of course  there are many other ways to be unstable. ;-)
