One of the 300+ features in Leopard is Back on my Mac with allows users to retrieve files in the Macs from a remote location. The caveat is that you must have a .Mac subscription in order for you to use this feature. A .Mac subscription cost $99 per year.

Melvin Rivera of All Forces has figured out a way to use Back on my Mac without .Mac. The hack uses iChat’s screen sharing capability and instructions can be found on All Forces.

I’m not so keen in using Back on my Mac and this hack since our bandwidth here is generally sucky. That will sure to mess things up.
