| You could also get a KVM switch, or get a bigger desk for 2 monitors and keyboards/mice. Mods have been locking most of your posts from what I've seen. Wonder how long this one will last.... maybe we can start bets.

| Remote Desktop is like logging into your Windows box remotely, but having full access to the GUI of the machine. You can log into the remote computer, and the remote computer's desktop is shown to you in the RDC window. It's like VirtualPC with a REAL PC on the other end. Get it from Microsoft... or do a search for "Remote Desktop Client" or "RDC" on versiontracker.com.

| You can use VNC for free for this. Post only get locked, edited or deleted for violating board rules. Some of his posts turned into wars. Not what this site is for.

| Yep thats a pretty handy thing to have. And 10 times faster(or more) than VPC. The only lame thing is Windoze XP Pro will only let you have one user logged in to the computer at once so if you want to use the windoze computer, no one else can use it at the same time. And it's about the only half decently fast MS Mac app.

 Damn! Your Wintel/Amd must be REALLY ugly  My advice to your "problem" would be: -Just use shared devices via networking -Use your Wintel/Amd when you have to use it -Use you iMac when you have to use it (if at all)  -Use Virtual PC in your iMac  -Sell your iMac to someone else who will fully use it and not just for a Windows Dumb Terminal  So, far I can clearly see that you still don't get it , or should I say you don't want to get it?
