[ale] X applications in windows?

[Geoffrey]

You fire up vncserver on your Unix box.  You then fire up vncviewer on 
your windows box.  I just did this.  I'm looking at a window with an 
xterm in it on my windows box.

Actually, I connected to my wife's windows box via vncviewer from my 
Linux box.  Then I fired up vncviewer on the Windows box. :)  I guess I 
could keep this going, kinda like a camcorder viewing a tv that's 
displaying what the camcorder is recording. :)

By the way, you can tune your desktop on the windows box.  I've actually 
had gnome running on my windows vncviewer. :)

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
