Screensharing
Tip of the day if you ask me .. Turn on screen-sharing and limit it to an account.
Then go to your other macs and your macs will be listed in Finder, select the mac and click on share screen, login, and you’re done. You will have full control over the other mac on the network. No more getting up and walking back and forth a few times.
Regardless which system you are on, you will have access to the other system. It is fast, good quality, easy to use and it is just an amazing feature. Oh man, what was that setting again? Where is that file? How do I .. – don’t worry, don’t get up .. just connect remotely and your monitor, keyboard, mouse lets you manage the remote machine as if you were behind it.
Sharing privileges are set under System Preferences, and in Finder make sure you have the left column set to show shared network devices.

Yes, that is exactly right. I am for example typing this on my Mac Pro, but I am not at home. I am using remote connect at a friends place to connect to it and login to my blog. Very handy

Sounds good to me.
So I am working on one Mac and having controll about another Mac which is may be standing in another room or another location, right?
That really would help me out, when fixing a problem on my friend´s Mac, who is not able to do change any software things on her Mac. With that screensharing I would not have to jump into the car, drive to her, fix the problem and drive home. I could do it from my own home- that is great.
