VGA splitter

Hello all, is there any way in which I can split a vga cable from two pc's

The idea what I am trying to achieve is to use my main desktop pc as the primary screen, until I plug in my macbook pro using the mini hdmi to vga cable. In which I wish to then use the primary screen as an extended screen of my macbook book pro. Do any of you have any ideas of what I can do regarding this?

Thanks,

Hrm, that might work; can't really go wrong with a £3 loss I guess, haha; thanks.

That's only going to be giving each output half of the original signal strength. So if your cables aren't short or you care about the picture quality I'd skip that tbh.

@OP: I've got a VGA splitter, that's a proper little box that's powered and gives a decent strength signal to the two outputs.

Not sure if we're allowed to name the place where I got it here (but they are retail on the highstreet, and OcUK don't do a VGA splitter). It's called a 2-Way SVGA Splitter Code A93BB and is £34.99.
