I'll save a lot of time too, I If stop installing ISOs. (-: So today, I had a meeting from 11:00 to 12:00. Just as the meeting started, I got my KVMoIP to display the desired BIOS screen on a server in California. So I pushed that window to the back and started watching my boss's shared desktop. 80 minutes later, the meeting was over and I went downstairs to eat breakfast and lunch. Then I came back upstairs.
For two hours, the BIOS had been constantly repainting the screen, and the KVMoIP had been faithfully sending the same pixels over and over, as fast as the 'net could carry them. I got 2.1 gigabytes of that screen, for which Verizon will charge me $21. Sigh. It's still cheaper than moving to San Jose.
