A cheaper alternative to MyPC.com
If you pay $20 a month to access your computer and desktop remotely through GoToMyPC.com , you might want to use LogMeInFree.com instead. As its name says, it is free.
My fellow Daily News blogger Steve Rosenberg writes that the site "allows you to access a Windows (and now Mac) box from a remote location through a Web browser. It's like GoToMyPC but with the promise of being free. Forever, presumably.
"I tried it out, and it works," Steve continues. "So far, I've controlled one XP machine via Firefox on a Ubuntu-equipped laptop. Seamless is the word I'm looking for.
"There is a "Pro" version with more features, but the fact that there even is a free version warms my cockles considerably."
Right-o.
