Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard is largely similar to its 10.5 Leopard predecessor, but includes many improved screen sharing-related features. This new edition is updated with respect to MobileMe, and it notes some finicky details regarding. Also, I made some changes because advanced VNC information had become less useful to readers, who now have several easier options to achieve the same results.
