Does anyone have any experience with systems that allow several users to view
the same screen on each of their macs simultaneosly? One such product is called
Timbuktu and and has been available for at least three years. It lists amongst
its uses:
	consultation
	training
	conferencing
	support
I also believe that there are other systems available.

We are interested in whether anyone is actually using these products on a
day-to-day basis in their work. I posted a similar item to comp.windows.x and
got several responses saying what a good idea window/screen sharing is, but
hardly anyone said they were using them seriously. Is window sharing a useful
tool or just a neat toy for the developers?
