Right.

A Mac-expert relative of mine also mentioned Airfoil. I'll look at these
and see if they are quick and easy. However, I gently broke the news to
my wife that sound might not work on the remote computer and she said
"So? I always turn it way down anyway because I don't like sound."

I still think it might be inconvenient not to have ANY sound (email
BINGs, youtube videos, etc) but at least it isn't a disaster.
