I am actually working from a beach thanks to GoToMyPc
GoToMyPC allows me to access my PC from anywhere on the Internet as though I were sitting in front of it. So when I am on vacation or just at a friend's house I can deal with urgent email and see if I've got any eBay or Amazon orders. Now what is wonderful about this is that I don't have the hassle of trying to load everything I think I'll need onto a laptop and then having all the subsequent problems of re-updating my main PC. GoToMyPC has allowed me to take working holidays and I love it. It's not cheap though so I'm amazed to see that www.logmein.com are offering a FREE remote login service, they hope you'll upgrade to their professional service of course. So there's nothing to stop you giving this a try. You can even use this on your home network to maintain other PCs without leaving your desk.
A reader Matt recommends the also free RealVNC which is widely used by the technical community, the only hassle with this is that an Internet Cafe etc might not allow you to install the RealVNC client.

I love gotomypc and have used it for years! I only recently suspended my account because I don't need it for now, but I'm sure I'll use it again in the future. :)
RealVNC is pretty good too :)
the wonders of technology. My husband brings his thinkpad when we go on trips too. But sometimes it could be troublesome for when you are on vacation. Don't you think so? I'd much rather have a vacation with no worries and none of those business or office work bugging.
Jane, Yes I agree, but GotoMyPC has allowed me to take a longer holiday, and this time as I've fallen ill to at least get something useful done.
