Hello all.

I just bought a new mac book pro, and i have an older G4 mac desktop. I would really like to get rid of the desktops monitor and use my laptop to tak "control" of the desktop, sort of like remote desktop on windows. Is there a software that i would need to do this? can i do it through the OS? basically i have alot of data on the desktop and i want to be able to run tasks on the desktop while working on my laptop, is it possible to take control of the desk top? thanks for the help.

Are you running Tiger ? Turn on 'Apple Remote Desktop' in the Sharing preference and make sure 'Allow VNC connections' under the 'Access Privilieges' button is turned on.

Then use a client application like Chicken of the VNC, or pay for Apple's Remote Desktop software (probably overkill for what you need though).
