A new tool helps keep
business travelers in touch

Even if you have one of the palm-sized computing devices, there are probably plenty of times when you need to reach information stored on your desktop computer at home or work. Now there’s a program that will let you reach that machine from any computer.

While there are several programs that perform this same task, the difference with GoToMyPC is that it lets you access the remote computer using a web browser. That means you can use any computer not just one equipped with special software.

At $20 per month or $179 a year, it’s more expensive than programs such as LapLink or PCAnywhere, but the Web advantage may make it worth the money for some business travelers.
