    ISLANDMACMAN  So far so good - 3.3 would beach ball on me, this version seems more stable and faster.

    DONMONTALVO  So far so good. The fix for crashes due to screen resolution is a welcome addition. Now, did this fix the issue where client workstations stop responding (even in environments where multicast is allowed on the switches)?

    CHIN  Does anybody know, what exactly the difference is to the built-in screen-sharing feature of Mac OS/X?

    Thanks in advance ...

    STAR-AFFINITY  There's a lot that's different – drag and drop of files between the remote and local computer being one thing there's a whole bunch of other features mainly intended for one who has to administer many computers (servers and users computers). I use it every day at work.
