With LogMeIn, your personal computer is truly never out of reach, even if you left both it and wallet in some wayward hotel room or resting on your bedside table. That’s right, not only does LogMeIn afford you the ability to access, support and manage your computer from anywhere with an internet conncetion, but the basic LogMeIn program is absolutely free. The only expense is opportunity cost, for economists out there, but with a simple two-minute set up process, there’s really not much else you could get done in that brief allotment (Elways, Mannings and Bradys of the world excluded).First, simply install the program on the computer you want to access, say, for example your laptop. Log into your LogMeIn account from any other computer in the world and just select your laptop as the computer you wish to control. The desktop, icons and applications will all appear on the screen, just as if you had brought your laptop with you.For those who might need more than just the basic package features, LogMeIn Pro offers a few additional capabilities the free version does not. Not only will you still be able to reach your desktop and its functions from afar, Pro allows for document transfer from the original computer to the current computer, file sharing, desktop sharing, and even remote to local printing, so if you leave important documents at home before you fly out on business, you can easily print them out at your hotel or a nearby FedEx Office. Of course, with all the additional features, LogMein Pro comes at a price, available for 69.95 a year.LogMeIn Ignition is a mobile program compatible with not only Windows, but iPhone and iPad, and Android devices, providing remote computer access from anywhere with a clear signal. At 29.99 its one of the pricier apps but well worth it for many savvy travelers.
