Remote Computing and Access possible on a daily basis?
Sync'ing my BlackBerry with Outlook 2007 at home and office has proven to be an issue (may go to ACT! 2009 in near future), it causes lost and duplicate info. Now, I'm wondering if I can keep my info at home and log into my computer at the office, and basically RUN my home computer from remote locations.
If I can access my computer in it's entirety, that would be very cool. However, will that make me more susceptible to attack?
I am behind a Class N Router at home, and have Firewall software, using Broadband Cable.
I'm aware of VNC, but would that fully handle my situation, or would anything make this possible? Also, are there pros and cons to this consideration?

Sorry... I meant to ask a clarification question there as well: so, when you say I can have full acces as if I were at home, you mean I can open and work on files, save the changes, work in my Outlook or ACT, save those changes, and so on... access my email, my pictures... EVERYTHING??? Geez, I think I'm wet, here!! LOL, thanks much, guys (boy am I glad I asked that question)!!!

Actually, I think I'm going to go "Pro." Or, in fact, IT (same price, more options, even though I'm not an IT guy).
Have you guys compared this to the others, PC Anywhere, VNC, etc.? I don't recall VNC being able to do this...
I'm going to download the trial versions at home tonight, then install at work tomorrow to test it, but I have one concern: I use my work email address, and my home email address. Is there a way to make my home email address appear as if it's my work email address?
Will follow up with you tomorrow as to this being the answer to my prayers, thanks again guys!

Fabulous, I'm using it now, thanks guys. The screen comes up a tad small for my liking (I like large screens I cannot lie), so maybe I'll have to upgrade my screen at the office, but other than that, it's pretty cool. I'm using the IT version, though I'm certainly not an IT guy, but it gives more options at the same pricepoint. Definitely, it must be an outstanding option for IT people. Thanks again.
