Remote Viewing for Mac
Hello All!

I'm a web designer and would like the ability to have clients see my desk top remotely. That way a client could be in another state or country and we could still have creative meetings remotely. Anyone no of a service (similar to gotomypc) that works with the main computer being a Mac?

Thanks!

Mac flavor of VNC
I have seen a VNC type application that I use in the Windows environment that is specifically for Macs. It is open source, check it out here and see if is what you're looking for:

I don't think you're looking for "remote control" software where you would lose control of or even access to your local desktop when the remote user connects but rather collaboration software that will allow you to share apps over a network connection. This way, your clients connect to your system and the BOTH of you can see whatever apps you've shared.

Here are some Google search results that might be of help.

Peace...

Back to My Mac would work for what was originally asked for.

Oh yeah. Great idea!

Just go to File> Share a File With iChat Theater and select a photo, movie, slideshow, or Keynote presentation.
