Remote desktop with ease...

How many times has this happened to you.. You rush of to work. Huffing and puffing you show up at work and ready to give that lecture you stayed up all night inorder to finish. you have managed to transfer it to the USB stick, BUT its still hooked up to your home computer. Ohh noes! Now you can`t put forth that final treatment about the desctruction of a new breed of red spotted orangutangs that need to be saved! Anyhoo bad example but you`ve been there.

Well, now thanks to a company called Logmein ( log me in ) that poor orangutang family and the whole tribe can rest assured and have a banana. What you do is create a account (30 days trial or buy pro) and you can acces your computer from anywhere in the world! Only hitch is that you have to remeber your passwords and that the client computer is on. But most of us leave the darn thing for months at a time.

You simply access the computer by going to logmein.org and if you have installed a client and fixed the settings on it, you can enter it and surf, clean or drag and drop files that you need or whatever you do with your computer. (Drag and drop only comes with the pro version) but its still quite a timesaver and its all done in your IE/safari/opera/firefox/netscape/google chrome window.

If its safe or not I dont know. You can stream music trough it but not movies. That you can just drag and drop. You can set up this "link" between 5 computers. More computer then that cost an additional fee.



So check it out at logmein.org

Cool
