Hello,

My parents finally bit the bullet today and bought a 17" MacBook Pro. I want to help them set it up, but I live 5,000 miles away.

I thought I saw a long time ago the ability to remote desktop another Mac was built into one of the newer versions of OSX. But, after googling for a bit it doesn't seem like this feature exists at all!

Is it possible?
