Every once and a while I try to use VNC for programming, it only works 
whie I use the WideStudio GUI creator. While typing my code it can be 
really slow and it gets annoying. Bandwidth is not rich where I'm 
located at for the reason of commercialized/overpriced bandwidth. Its a 
good recommendation for people who have massive ammounts of bandwidth or 
a frame from building to building.
