Yes, i've used gotomypc for for at least a couple yrs while traveling. It's a lifesaver~ I love it! You can use it from any library or any pc with internet access. You access it via their website. Yes, you set it up ahead of time from your home, so you have it downloaded on your HOME COMPUTER ahead of time and, yes, your home pc has to be left ON - or if family is there, they can turn it ON for you.... you see your DESKTOP exactly as if you were sitting at it at home~ (well, you see everything is what i mean, all files, etc etc, emailk everything; but only thing differenet, which isnt a big deal, is that photos don't come in quite as clear... but for everything else, it's WONDERFUL!) Gotta go pick up my daughter a prescription, gotta run~ We live on the central coast of CA, near Pismo Beach, and we are two hrs away , staying near her doc til she has a post op appt. on Tues, in good ole Bakersfield! Nice weather tho~ Happy Easter to all, TINA ----- Original Message ----- From: <Rstarthistle@wmconnect.com> To: <GAWILKIN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, April 15, 2006 12:21 PM Subject: Re: [GAWILKIN-L] surge or emails --Tina > Does that gotomypc work well? is it only good to use from a laptop or a > single specific computer or can it be used to access your home computer > from any > computer such as whatever computer you happen to land on at the library? > I > presume you'd have to have one of those permanent connections like DSL or > something on the home computer and then leave it on all the time? > > Rhonda > > In a message dated 4/15/2006 3:07:31 PM Eastern Daylight Time, > tpeddiewrites: > >> anyway, just >> yesterday/last night is when i finally got my "gotomypc.com" acct going >> (that I use when out of town), > > > > > ==== GAWILKIN Mailing List ==== > Check out this great GA RESOURCES PAGE: > http://www-personal.umich.edu/~cgaunt/georgia.html >
