LogMeIn Free

I know I've been going on and on about CrossLoop (with good reason though). I still kind of prefer LogMeIn for remote accessing your own computer. To start using this all you need to do is go to LogMeIn.com website. 1. Sign up for a free account. 2. download software. 3. Install software. Then to use you go back to the website and log into your account. You then can select the PC you want to connect to. It's as easy as that.

Here's a nice write of Crossloop vs. LogMeIn Like the author of this I find myself using LogMeIn for accessing my own PC's and Crossloop for helping others. Ones that even the less-than-tech savvy can figure out. Be sure and check it out.

Log Me in, Techinline

I'm really starting to like logmein.com. One benefit is that I'm able to access more than one computer in my own home. Kind of a poor man's network you could say. Its pay service I'm trying out (Log Me in Rescue)is nice but at $99-$129 per month price tag it's a bit too out of my reach. I'll stick with free version for now. It's a bit more cumbersome to setup but I'll manage.

The other remote access I'm trying out is through Techinline.
I was trying to use a free trial version with my darling mother-in-law(a complete computer novice) was unsuccessful. It seems if you use Firefox it has to install a plugin which she had problems installing and I was unable help her through(she's a big reason I want to get one of these working). I think next time we'll try it with Internet Explorer and hopefully we can get a working connection. It's pricing structure is a bit more reasonable and may be able to fir into my budget($30 month unlimited/ $20 for 5 sessions). well I'll keep plugging away at it. See you later.
