Newbie iMac user.
I own and operate a cellular phone business. I have 3 locations in 3 different cities, and live in a 4th city.
Can I start a general "is this even possible, and if so, how?" discussion here...
I'd like to switch all the stores from pcs to iMacs. Not only for space savings and cosmetic appeal, but for security and stability as well.
Currently, at the end of the day, each store faxes me a couple pages worth of closing numbers and receipts. Then, at home, i go thru each one and consolidate the info into an Excel spreadsheet.
Id like to have the ability for each location to have access to the same iDisk so that they may open a spreadsheet, input their numbers, and save it. Then I can access those files as well from wherever i might be, either one of the stores or at home with my iMac.
Id also like to set up private networks for chatting between the stores and myself.
simply, how?
any help here?
one concern is i dont want each store's imac to have access to things the shouldnt. very basic idisk access should be enough.
finally, can i, from my home location, remotely call up the iMacs iSight cam so I can snoop and see what my employees are up to at each store?
phew...
