Re: TightVNC Scaling

Why on God's green earth are you doing this?  Instead, just save the power
point slide as html (in the File, Save As Web Page) and then put it on a web
server somewhere.  then, just have them do the phone conference and TELL
them when to change the slide.  It'll be a whole lot safer, better on the
bandwidth, etc.
