Sharing the Screen

While thinking about keyboard ideas for the mini, I ran across a thread where someone noted they just share the screen of the mini onto their desktop/laptop and don't even use a keyboard with the mini.

I never really messed with share much, but, it really is so cool. Just go into the mini, open preferences, check the option to share the screen and that's it. Go to your laptop/desktop, on the same network, and connect to the mini, click share screen, and it will ask you for the mini's login and password and you're there! Now you can conduct all mini maintenance without sitting on the floor with a keyboard plugged in, or far away on the couch.

Here's a pic to see it in action :)
