Remote sharing extended to the max
Kevin and I have chats a lot, we discuss a lot of things and this morning was no different than most. Kevin wanted to show me something he was working with on his Mac so we started an iChat session and he then shared his desktop with me. The remote desktop sharing in iChat works really well and we spent a good half hour with him showing me what he was doing with me following everything by watching his Mac. I was on my MacBook Pro watching him whiz the mouse around when a diabolical idea hit me. I logged into my MBP from the Lenovo U110 using LogMeIn and it was surreal how I was manipulating Kevin's Mac in Philly using the IdeaPad in Houston that was actually controlling my Mac here. It's enough to make my head explode. :)
That was amazing...in 1995! in 2008 there is nothing amazing about it

Allan, I didn't say it was amazing, just that it's still very cool to do. :)

Besides, Alan, he HAD to do it. So he could write about it, mention the Mac AND the U110 and Kevin's Mac all in one post to BUG ME!

What was the resolution for most recent MBP meltdown? Updating outcome for such troubling hardware/software failures need as detailed followup.
