[G4] On Live for viewing Flash video?

10.4 can deal with remote connections through screen sharing. I do it all the time. It may be that a VNC client is needed - I don't recall. BUt I routinely operate a PM G4 running 10.4.x headless from an iMac running 10.6.8.

I looked on my iMac within the App Store but I couldn't find the app. So I tried the iPad and I was able to locate the app that way. Of course the website states this is an app for iPad's and Android tablets. It's not for a desktop system at this time. I did look through the comments left by users which I always do before trying out an app. It would appear that there are a lot of people who can not use the app if you have an Internet connection less the 4Mbps as it's too slow to access the service. Or they get messages that the connections are full and to try again later. I don't see this as anything developed for our PPC computers. And when it comes out for desktops it'll be through the App Store which does us no good as PPC products are not allowed on the App Store.
