OSXvnc
February 1, 2006 9:04 am Mac Tips
There is an exciting new program out there for Mac users on campus: OSXvnc allows IT staff (well, me) to log on to a remote computer in order to see what’s on the screen and help out with troubleshooting. The program only allows a connection when it’s open, so you have complete control over when people can log in remotely, and won’t have to worry about potential spying or intrusions. This software may help keep Mac support alive in some form….but we won’t know until we can test its effectiveness in a real-world environment. So, if you’re interested, please drop me an email at vhauri@gmail.com to discuss joining the beta test group. In addition to helping me provide you with better support in the future, being in this elite testing group will give you something to hold over your PC-loving friends and colleagues.
