Unveiling my new 27 inch iMac posed a bit of a problem when it came to workflow. I spend a lot of my time doing working on my laptop yet I did not want to migrate all of my productivity tools over to my new box, especially if its just to answer a few dozen emails in Outlook. So I needed a way to share my laptops desktop with my iMac.
What I found was that through iChat you are able to share desktops over bonjour. So here is the complete process:
Step 1
Turn on iChat for both systems.
Step 2
Enable desktop share for the machine you would like to share.
Step 3
Accept the invite from the machine you want to sit in front of to do your work.
Of course, if I close to lid to my laptop I won’t be able to see anything since it enters sleep mode – but I’m working on that.-)
