So I just got a copy of Apple Remote Desktop 3.3 with Unlimited Clients for 2¢ from someone who had no clue what it was or what it was worth. Beyond that awesomeness, is what I can do with it. Given I have multiple machines, I should have picked this up ages ago!

Played a game of StarCraft 2 on a Quad G5, even though it requires Intel. Just because I can:

I'm surprised FW800 has enough bandwith to handle streaming a game like that in real time. Looks awesome though.

It certainly didn't have the world's fastest framerate, but it was still actually playable, surprisingly. I was going to test it over gigabit ethernet but I didn't feel like configuring the MBP into my system just for the experiment.

I would be interested in the bitrate that you would be feeding the FW cable, as I thought it would be up to that. it probably doesn't compare properly, but I've found it transfers high definition data quite happily…full BD file films.

Heh, lets set up a giant cluster of IMG connected machines with that unlimited license, so everyone can game while they game.. :P
"They're everywhere!"

And now, time for some Legend of Zelda.

I like this idea. Free gaming for all of IMG, assuming at least one of us buys the game. We will also network all our computers into a supercomputer, and create some sort of rogue AI that will fight for world dominance during our gaming off hours.
