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.
