Another thing I did: remote music by Tansin A. Darcos (TDARCOS) 04/27/2013, 6:17pm PDT
I was out in the kitchen cooking some cheeseburgers. I have the Power Macintosh out in the living room of the rooming house I live at; the only things plugged in it are a power cord and a $9 Tenda wireless adapter. It's next to the kitchen on the other side of the wall as opposed to my room which has a doorway. I fired up VNC on the computer in my room and connected to the machine. I have a shortcut to the music folder on my NAS on the network on the Mac desktop; I double-clcicked on it to open it, found the file for "Jim Croce - Rapid Roy" and double-clicked on the icon. Then went back out to the kitchen. In the mean time, the Mac fired up VLC. which started the song, and while I'm cooking, the built-in speakers on the Mac are blaring out:

Oh Rapid Roy
That Stock Car Boy
He's too much too believe
Oh, he always got an extra pack of cigarettes
Rolled up in his T-shirt sleeve.

Sweet for a device that cost me $160 total and is, according to the other poster, an alleged "piece of shit" that he essentially said was worthless. Plus, it's shiny and looks nice; you could easily mistake it for a large speaker.

Come to think of it, this reminds me of that music system I saw for sale at Target that will essentially do something similar - acquire Music from your file server or possibly off the Internet and play it - and starts at $250.00 just for the base device, plus additional costs for other parts.
