Ever since I switched to Apple instead of my crappy PC
running Windows, I've never regretted my decision, except when I was feeling
like using a few applications that were only available on PC.
For most of them, I was able to find workarounds, replacements (sometimes better than what I was using on Windows), but one that was awfully missing to my library was VNC, which allows you to remotely control a machine's mouse and keyboard.
Looking at the VNC's website, where no binary file was available for Mac, I started to compile the source code for Mac, when I realized some X11 libraries were missing in my environment.
Laziness finally got me and I never actually tried to go any further since then.
That is until I found out about VNCThing, which is a native VNC viewer for Mac OS X, which seems to work quite well and is rather fast, compared to my Windows' version of the VNC viewer (or maybe my opinion on Windows related applications is biased...).
Unfortunately, the official site Webthings.net does not make the application available for download anymore (the domainname is actually for sale), but there are several other mirror sites on the Internet, which still provide the application for download.
The safest way to keep yourself updated and to be sure you get the latest
versions is to follow sites like MacUpdate or VersionTracker.
Both sites provide email notification for software updates, but MacUpdate
requires a one-year membership for $20
Of course, VNCThing is under the GNU General Public License, meaning that is free to download, to use and to distribute.
That being said, I can put the binary files of the version 2.2 on my website too :)
