Just Plain Cool Stuff…
Jim Edwards here with an article I think you’ll get a few
things out of…
This article will run in tomorrow’s paper, but you get the
“scoop” today ![]()
Here’s what it’s all about:
1. It shows you an easy and proven way to access your
computer while on the road… without lugging a laptop.
2. It details a way you can hold virtual meetings and
collaborate with others over the net.
But here’s what it also shows you that most people would
miss… unless I point it out.
What I didn’t point out in the newspaper article (since
it’s to a general interest newspaper audience) is that this
article reveals a tool you can actually use to create
products with a joint-venture partner…. even if you’re
separated by long distances!
Imagine jumping on the phone and your computer and, using a
screen capture software like Camtasia, collaborating to
create a “killer” information product.
That’s the power of the information in today’s article for
you as an information marketer… these tools open up a
whole new world of product creation in cooperation with
others.
So, I hope you enjoy the article.
If you like it, feel free to post it on your site, in your
blog, or in your newsletter or autoresponder (see simple
reprint instructions at the end).
Have a great week,
Jim

Access Your PC From The Road

Have you ever sat in front of your computer and wished you
could show someone else what appeared on your screen?
Maybe you were experiencing a problem, or couldn’t figure
out how to make something work, but you knew if someone
else could see what was happening on your screen, they
could help you fix the problem immediately.
Ever had a phone conversation with someone about a
particular business topic, but you just couldn’t “connect”
with your ideas because it was too hard to explain over the
phone?
Now, visualize jumping on the phone with that same person
and literally sharing your computer’s desktop to
collaborate, discuss, and create virtually anything
together, even if you are separated by thousands of miles.
Though this may sound like an episode of Star Trek, remote
computer sharing is actually a daily business reality.
Imagine you need to take a trip and you either don’t want
to or can’t take your computer.
The thought of emails piling up for days makes you crazy
and you also need to monitor some things on your pc.
Instead of trying to lug your laptop (or fit your desktop
into your suitcase), you can use “remote desktop” software
that allows you to access your computer through the
Internet from any other computer in the world.
One of the most common remote desktop services is
GoToMyPC.com, which provides a safe and secure way for you
to go down to the local internet café, log on, and access
your office or home computer just like sitting at your own
desk.
Now, before you panic and think anyone can access your
computer, let me explain security.
First, you log in to the GoToMyPC.com website with a
username and password.
Once logged in, you then click a link to log onto your PC,
which will then ask you for another password.
GoToMyPC.com has even thought of a solution for those of
you worried about people looking over your shoulder as you
enter your passwords on a public computer or if the
computer you use might carry a keystroke logger.
Before leaving home, you can program in a series of up to
99 passwords that only work one time.
This means even if someone watches you log into your
computer or records your keystrokes, the password you used
won’t work again.
If a would-be thief tries to access your computer too many
times, GoToMyPC.com will shut down all access attempts to
your PC.
The benefits of remotely accessing your PC from the road
are numerous, but the bottom line is that it enables you to
use your computer from the road like you never left home.
For example: while traveling to a conference this weekend,
my wife (and business partner) accessed our office computer
from my laptop and, instead of the usual pile of 4,000
emails that would normally await after 5 days away, we just
picked up this morning like we’d never been gone.
The same company that offers GoToMyPC.com also offers a
service called GoToMeeting.com which allows you to remotely
host a meeting where multiple users can share and
collaborate on a single computer desktop.
This service makes it super simple to provide online
training, do software demos, and even make complete sales
presentations.
I personally use both of these services and find them easy,
reliable and well worth the price.

Access Your PC From The Road
Wow!! Jim Edwards has a great article posted on his blog about remote access for meetings and other remote things we wish we could do at times on the road.

Deb :
Question, Jim:
Does a home computer have to be “on” or must it be in “standby mode?” Can it be awakened remotely? That’s one thing I’ve not been able to find out about. It doesn’t seem likely that they can be accessed when they’re off, but then I don’t claim to understand how OS work anymore.
Sometimes I yearn for the DOS days when everything ran on floppies. Well, okay, only sometimes — when XP is making me crazy.

DOS was the best, most stable OS ever created if you ask me. XP would know stability if hit on the Motherboard with it.
