oh man, this is super old, wasnt this feature even in jaguar? I hate when people bitch about old topics but jeebus this is way old."Did you know that you can share files across a network in windows 98!?"
"-.- it does....it's called professional, I could say more but I will reframe myself"Because that old frame you were hanging in just wasnt fitting in with the decor of this thread. Moron.
Hey nabilanwar--I'm glad you liked my idea! There are many free versions of VNC for PC including RealVNC, TightVNC, UltraVNC, and WinVNC.If someone would like to setup a free account for me on their Mac boxes I'd be forever grateful. There are no Apple or CompUSA stores where I live and I don't have any friends who have Macs. I just want to play around with the OS and see if it fits my needs.Then I can buy a Mac when (hopefully) they release Intel ones in Jan. I don't think I'll buy one if I'm not absolutely sure that it's going to work for me. To do that I have to try it out. It's a viscious circle.
I tried this out (I got given a mac-mini from a client of mine to do some dev work on), i never really use the desktop much I just SSH in. Anyway, im on a pretty ropey wireless network (old b style network, so that'll be 11mbit max). Anyway I'm finding it really slow, if I try and which to using 8 bit colour for the vnc viewer, the screen just gets messed up (using TightVNC on WinXP) - any suggestions?

Hey i liked the comment by the user who said that we should use this to show OSX to PC users. So what do people use to do VNC on PC for free?
