I guess this means you got the Mac Tony?
Yep. Got the top-end one because I wanted the DVD burner. And for 99.00 more, got the mac wireless keyboard and mouse. Whole thing worked like a charm once I decided to use its DVI output instead of its VGA output. In DVI mode, it displays on the screen at a perfect 1:1 pixel resolution so it looks fantastic.
Media playback codecs for Quicktime were unusually difficult to get working (My own Divx video files of my performances, that I created myself, still wouldn't play properly after installing the Divx codec), but solved that by installing Mplayer.

I've been using RDC on the Mac for about a year now. It came on the Office CD and is how I've primarily accessed my living-room PC.
It worked like a charm and I can remotely control the PC in the basement with it.
Unfortunately, I had forgotten about my long-standing problem, which is that my DirectX games don't work (crash to desktop) when I have Terminal Server installed on this Windows 2000 PC. Was never able to solve that problem, and there's no solutions on the web or in MSKB. So Terminal Services gets deinstalled, and it looks like this PC here in the basement is destined to just not be remote-controlled for now. I might knuckle down and put XP or 2003 (which don't have that problem with game incompatibility) on it, but not right now.
