[MacTUG] Making ARD access more obvious to the client

[Donald Duff-McCracken]

I have wondered that too. If I am doing something I usually won’t bother chatting but I will often send a message (which I like because I can do that to more than one person). I will usually do that especially if I am doing something like restarting a lab of computers. I learned to do that as I have had a few people say that a room full of computers restarting can freak the one user out (even if I don’t restart theirs haha)

Subject: [MacTUG] Making ARD access more obvious to the client

Anyone have ideas on how to make it more obvious to the client that we taking control of their machine
via ARD besides just the silly menulet changing?
I guess we could make it part of the procedure to launch a chat beforehand.
