Naw, if I want to freak someone out I VNC in while they are editing some 
text and keep mixing up their spelling. Or if they try to click an icon you 
move the cursor just a few pixels off target. Nasty, and everybody who has 
ever seen VNC has probably done it, but great fun while it lasts.

One guy took about 15 seconds before he wanted to ram the PC off the 
desktop.
