screen sharing, here's something interesting

I'm logged into my account on my imac, but decide to work from the couch while watching tv, so I connect to the imac using screen sharing and I'm plugging away. Meanwhile my youngest daughter decides to play a game on the imac so she logs into her account, brings up the game and has a good time. Now for the interesting part, I was never disconnected, in fact I never knew what she did until I walked into the room.

LIke Terminal Services (Windows Server flavors)...individual sessions for each user. Interesting that it is built-in, as such for the screen-sharing/consumer version aspect of OSX (and not referring to normal, UNIX features)...and it does not disconnect a remote user when another user logs in locally (like it would if you were to remote desktop into a 'regular' XP/Vista machine).

Just so I understand, how were you connected to the iMac while watching TV? On a laptop, or via AppleTV or what?

Sounds very cool though...
