The ultimate in lazy, Mrs JD calls it. ‘Why?’ She asks, I look blankly back at her. ‘Oh I see,’ she says in her resigned tone, ‘just because.’
I’ve set up remote control between the Mac and the PC, so I can control the PC from anywhere in the house. For free using open source software.
On Windows XP: TightVNC (Server and Client)
On Mac OS X: OSXVNC (server) and VNCThing (Client)
The server listens for a connection request from the client, the client does the connecting. I can now poke applications on XP from the comfort of my living room and OSX.
Because … OK?
