Oooo, luxury. More than half the time, I need screen 
caps from another system (usually an OS that I 
couldn't install on my workstation even if I 
wanted to... or was permitted to) located at the 
other end of the building, or on another floor.

I can't really use Exceed or some other remote 
graphic login, because the required equipment is 
attached to the other system, and I need to 
manipulate it. I tried that once, and was asked 
to please stop running in the halls, and on the 
stairs. Timeouts, you know.
