Is there a Mac app that will let me push websites/content right to my parents PC?

Trying to see if something out there like this exists. I'm looking for an application where i can just drag a website bookmark to the application icon and have that website pop up on my parents PC?

Does anything like this exist?
 
Hmm, interesting project. SSH & Terminal might work. So you could do this in Terminal on the local machine to make a site pop up:

open -a Safari http://cnn.com

If you can setup the SSH remotely, then you could push commands like that to their machine. If you got creative, you could write a Platypus app to drop links in and have them pop open on your parent's machines. A few links for reference:

Dropbox might work as well - maybe setup an Automator action with a Smart folder that opens & deletes shared links in a certain folder. Or you could do it the hard way - VPN in and do a screenshare with something like LogMeIn. This would actually be a pretty useful app for when you are talking to customers/family and want something to happen remotely...

Also what's up dude! 🙂
