    Wow, didn’t know that something like this could be done with HTML5. I’ll have to give it a try! :)

    For those who are not familiar with ThinVNC, there’s a video demonstration at:

    Beside the HTML5 remote access, there’s an optional client which
    supports seamless windows.
    Both modes enable a quick and simple presentation manager to invite
    others to see your desktop for a presentation or demonstration.
