bazoo: What exactly is a remote desktop client?
I don’t wish to appear stupid, but my Mac is telling me I can download an update for remote desktop client. Don’t know if I need one. I have a PC running Windows and a Mac running OS X (I think) and I have a router, a modem and a printer that both of them use. I have no idea what a remote desktop client is. Thanks for any help.

Remote Desktop Client is a program (for both Windows and OS X) to let you control another computer. Basically, you get a Windows showing the other computer’s desktop and you can run programs, etc. on the other computer. It’s great if you need to access stuff from work at home, or you have a really fast desktop and a slow laptop and you want to do intensive tasks.
remote desktop is a tool that is used for help. for instance you can be having trouble with your pc, and using remote desktop someone can connect to your pc and have total control over your computer so they can fix the problem. So unless you use this or know how to use it, I wouldn’t take the update. Would just be a waste of space and the version you have is probably good enough if you ever did need to use it.
