grrrreat. I'm lucky Fry's return policy is so relaxed :-)
"Remotely Possible" does communicate shapes and fonts, thus is usually
faster than the pixel-oriented VNC, and has more security features (take
control over a remote machine, instructor can broadcast one student over
to entire class, block their local access and all), but VNC is easyer to
start, is independant of color mode and resolution (not to mention
platform!), amazingly a bit more stable and is a bit cheaper.
