« U2 Goes to Church | Main | A tedious tradition » October 31, 2006Killer AppLogMeIn is not a new service, but it is one that I recently discovered. By installing a free program on one or more networked PCs and creating a free account on the LogMeIn web site, you can then control those computers from any computer in the world with web acess. You can open any file and run any application that is on the computer you are accessing. I tried this out last night, using my wireless laptop in the living room to control the wired desktop in the den. I was even able to make the desktop computer play my MP3 files, essentially turning my laptop into a remote control for my digital media center. In addition to accessing your own desktop computer while away from home, LogMeIn presents an extremely useful tool for experienced computer users who are often called upon to help their less-experienced friends and family members. With LogMeIn, they can grant you the ability to see their desktop, making it much easier to solve their problem without being at their computer. I highly recommend this software.

LogMeIn works with Windows 98 and up on the "target" PC, and requires nothing on the remote PC other than a web browser. Posted by: Eric Seymour at October 31, 2006 02:53 PM | permalink Excellent! Now the five-thousand dollar question: Can I use firefox or safari on my Mac to remotely operate a "target" PC in this manner? Posted by: Michael LoPrete at October 31, 2006 03:24 PM | permalink From the LogMeIn FAQ: "LogMeIn is currently not a compatible download for a Target PC that uses the Linux or Mac operating system. However, you can use a local Mac or PC that runs Linux to access a Target PC that runs Windows." Posted by: Eric Seymour at October 31, 2006 04:38 PM | permalink Post a comment |
