These already exist and they work at a distance. The screen display is produced by a string of bytes sent to it serially by the video card. Because it repeats at a known frequency it is easy to pick out from all the other random electronic noise. It is a simple matter to detect the signal and redisplay this string of bytes to see exactly what is on the screen. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
