I knew something was up when the Management Software for 2.0 was not updated for the Intel Macs. Oh well, only $299.

Does OSX have a built-in simple VNC-like client/server? Tue, 11 Apr 2006 20:03:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (yanik) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?113932 http://osnews.com/thread?113932 I always found it fast and suited my needs perfectly.

As such i thought the price was justified Tue, 11 Apr 2006 20:50:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Adurbe) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?114008 http://osnews.com/thread?114008 Why would you pay for this? XP does all of this for free. Wed, 12 Apr 2006 01:48:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (tomcat) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?114014 http://osnews.com/thread?114014 No it doesn't.
