[QUOTE="crisscross01, post: 1659599, member: 402270"] Thank you gsahli - this looks like a good answer, only VNC is not something I have ever used and a slightly old dog (75) to be teaching new tricks to! The good news is that the defunct screen is not totally defunct; with a very bright light I can just about see what is going on on it and can see I have sharing and remote login turned on. It says "to log in to this computer remotely, type "ssh POWERBOOK@192.168 etc" at a shell command prompt. I have both straight and crossover ethernet cable available So, where to next in easy stages (if you have time and infinite generosity) [/QUOTE]
