Access Computers Remotely

Over the years, I’ve needed to connect to my home machine, or the machines of family and friends, for a myriad of reasons;

• Checking file transfers
• Emailing files to myself and others
• Addressing problems!!!
• Remote tutorials ( “How can I do such and such?” )
• Access to unrestricted Internet (no web filters!)

You can probably think of a few other reasons as well….

The good news:  All the software you need is FREE!

The bad news:  Some Computer Voodoo is required.
