The cheapest and easiest way to see each other's screens is to use the screen sharing function built into Skype. The downside is that there is no control of the other computer involved. Then again, that might be an upside. I have used to it watch while someone shows me their problem, and see what they are not telling me, or don't know how to describe. Working in the other direction, I can demonstrate a technique on my computer while they watch me remotely. Either can be a great timesaver when the two parties are having difficulty articulating their position. http://www.skype.com/allfeatures/screensharing/ -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
