While at WISEN, I used Matt Jensen's laptop and connected to my machine
at home via Internet Explorer and the Java version of the VNC viewer
that runs off the HTTP server at port 5800+display#. Way cool,
especially in thin-client.

I run the VNC server at both home and work now, just in case.

I wish the Unix version could share displays as the Windows version
does. The FAQ suggests running VNC alongside your X server, and running
the vncviewer as the only client to the X server (and then everything
else as a client to the VNC server), but I can't be bothered to set that
up. 8-(
