laptop-outsideLogMeIn lets you set up a network of computers so you can work anywhere. I have used remote access systems before, and the delay drove me nuts. I always felt like I was drunk driving with my mouse.

If you need to work from the coffee shop, you have to try LogMeIn! I put the desktop on first then registered my new laptop. When my desktop is on, I can use my laptop (or any other computer I am using) to access my home desktop. In real time. With no delay.

I have been sitting on my front porch every afternoon this week, using LogMeIn to reach the desk in my office. It’s so good I forget that I’m remotely accessing things.

Oh, and did I mention that it’s free?

Here’s a list of my other favorite free tools.
