Actually, I remember when I was first introduced to VNC. It was when I was 16 and started as an IT guy on a medium sized LAN at a theme park. We had VNC installed on all computers to save time when something broke. And there were stations setup to print id cards for season passes. Well, when they were not printing passes, they were supposed to be doing data entry, but all too often ended up play solitare.

I didn't really care either way, but I would hop on from time to time to make sure they were doing their job. Everytime I caught them playing solitare, I would call down there, and tell them to stop. Well, I remember more then a few times you would catch someone playing who was bad at the game, and missed some obvious moves, so I decided to start playing with them. Funny part was, they would think the computer was broken, so they would call me! So, I would ask what they were doing, until they finally confessed, at which I would laugh at them and told them I knew... They were always happier with me catching them cause if their boss did, they would have been fired.

none the less, it was always fun.
