I'm using the free version of LogMeIn, which works great, but is a
little fuzzy. I have fast Broadband/Wifi access.. so no problem,
there, and both pcs are fast.

I wonderf if Gotmypc is better, faster, or has a clearer image.. or if
the paid for version of logmein is better.

I don't need any special features, the free version works great, its
jut that the image is a little fuzzy, and not as easy to read.


thanks

gotomy pc is a little bit faster than logmein but it is not free. both are
excellent products.
your 'fuzzzy' image problem with logmein may well be the same with gotomypc.
it is a problem of scalling the image of the remote computer to fit the
local computer. if the remote computer has a larger or more high resolution
screen than the local computer you can experiance this problem. i suggest
that you try sizing the image to full screen (no menus displayed) or the
other image adjustments available to see if the image becomes aceptable.

Interesting ... I am going to check out LogMeIn. I'd like to access
my Mac from a PC from within my apartment, and would also like to
access my Mac or PC from a laptop remotely.

I think that's possible with Remote Desktop but forwarding ports, etc.
is confusing. Real VNC is supposed to allow access to my Mac from a
PC, but I have to pay to get the Enterprise version.

This ramble was intended mainly hoping someone would clue me in on
something I am missing that would make what I want to do easy.

logmein and gotomypc are very expensive options, paying $20/month per
computer
that's rediculous

try looking at pcanywhere or radmin, or any of the other "pay once"
programs.
the main difference is you're paying them for using their proxy service
to help make the connection bypassing any firewalls, and any idiot could
do it, doesnt require any setup in your router.
not worth $20/month in my opinion.

i rather pay $40 for life.

logmein is $0 per month and runs as either host or client on either windows
pc or macs.
