Hi list! I cannot accept that my old computer is unusable : ) I mailed this list earlier about a problem with vRam. (the screen is all in horizontal lines and so is external monitor if I connect to the laptop). Hardware detection found a faulty vRam. I went into Open Firmware and tried to reset nvram and all that, but to no avail. The computer is fine apart from the screen problem. So I thought, if only I can connect to it using my other Mac and control it from another screen. I had a look at Remote Desktop from Apple but it is pricey and perhaps not what I am looking for, Does anybody know of any good application for doing this? With forehand thanks thor
