    Hi everyone, I was wondering if there isn't anything like this on the internet? When you develop applications or web sites, you often need to test them on various platforms, but what if you do not want to buy another computer for each platform testing, or buy and install a software emulator on one of your PCs - it would be nice if there was some subscription based service where you would pay a monthly fee or something like that, and it would give you remote access (VNC, or something like remote desktop) to the platform of your choice for testing. I guess it would be useful to many developers who only need occassional testing. So for now, the question is, does anything like this exist? A remote Mac emulator would be especially useful to me. :) Or any other ideas on easy application and web site tesing on a Mac (without having one?) Thanks for any hints in advance, Rado

          Thanks! I'll check it out. I guess you need a separate installation/license of the MacOS for this one?

            This looks exactly like what I was looking for, thanks a lot! Eventhough the screen capture doesn't allow you to test interactivity of Flash movies, I saw also something like a remote desktop / VNC subscription so I'm going to check that out. Thanks again

              You need the install discs yes. You can get Panther on eBay for cheap now. Problem is, Apple don't let you install OS X on non-apple hardware. So even if you buy the discs, you can't run them...legally anyway.
