Gotomypc.com - Love It!

I love this service! It's called gotomypc.com, and it enables me to login to my computer remotely. This means that, from any other computer with an Internet connection, I can access my own computer. It's as if I'm sitting right there in front of it. Here's how to sign up for a free trial:

1. Visit www.gotomypc.com/s/referral
2. Create an account
3. Follow the instructions. You will need to set up the remote computer first. Then, you can access it from the local computer (see below for definitions).

It works like this: when accessing the remote computer, a small file is installed in the local computer. Then, enter your password, and a green browser opens. You now can see your computer desktop, as if you were right there in front of it. When the session ends, the small file installed on the local computer is erased.

Since I'm a gotomypc.com customer, the link above is for a 45 day free trial. This is longer than the standard 30 day free trial you see on other sites.
