Not my brilliance, but the brilliance of Mac OS X [although I am sure there is a way to do this with other systems, I don't know about that but just learned and did this] and it just blew me away.
I have a MacPro and an iMac that is just running but not being used [getting ready to clean it off] and needed to get some information on it to work with. A few days ago, a friend of mine [CWSmith, who handles Win & Mac service and repair here in town] showed me how to use Screen Sharing rather than pulling in the computer onto my desktop.
What Screensharing does is it allows you to share the screen of the other computer on your own and work on the other computer as if you were sitting in front of it, doing your work there. So, I had the data on my MacPro and wanted to work with it on the iMac so I opened screen sharing and pulled in the view of the iMac's monitor. Thus, I'm sitting at my MP and looking not only at its desktop but also at the desktop of the iMac [I can go inside folders as well, though I don't need to do that]. I did a reverse connection from the iMac to the MP and saw the folder I wanted on the desktop and clicked and dragged it to the iMac from the Mac Pro.
