ok, now don't get mad at me. here's another nonrelated (well, sort of) question for everyone (especially applescript or program savvy) out there.
I know it is common sense that you need system 7 and 4MB of ram in order to browse the web. what i want to know is if anyone has ever seen a "remote control" program for macs that will allow you to control a server's desktop and, obviously, run remote programs (ie netscape) on that server, only using your mac as a dumb terminal to display a (probably slow-refresh) screenschot of the server's screen? something like vnc? Or if there is a way to make an applescript on the host server to listen for any remote commands (ie something like "go to www.lowendmac.com" or whatever that would be in applescript [i'm no programmer]) and do them in netscape, then save the result as a teachtext file which could be accessed remotely via your "dumb" sys6 "terminal". anyone know if this is feasible idea? oh, by the way, i think it should be able to do all this with the lightning-fast speed of localtalk, all of around 200kbps (wow!) please reply off list as this is not really pb-related. thanks a lot you guys alan -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
