"Mac, PC Experts, I need your urgent help!!!!"


  

          

My mentor has a Macintosh and I have a PC. He lives in New York City and I live in Toronto. We want to connect our computers so that he can see what is on my screen while we talk on the phone. I don't want to give him access to my mouse, I simply want him to watch so that as he directs me (Graphic Design) we save time on sending files back and forth. Is that possible?? Please help!

He looks determined without being ruthless
Something heroic in this man, there's a courage about him
Doesn't look like a killer
Comes across so calm, acts like he has a dream
Full of passion

VNC is also worth a try. It's a bit of a pain to setup sometimes though...

it also allows the Mac user to take control of the PC.
it's called Remote Desktop Connection Client and it's availale on Apple's Downloads page here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/networking_security/remotedesktopconnectionclient.html .
