Goto My PC / Server question

[Hostel_Takeover]

Hi 4HWW members,
I am not new to computers but never messed w/Servers much.
Tim discusses accessing GotoMYPc.com while travelling abroad. This means he is pulling up a computer somwhere back home. If you are fully automated could you add programs to a server online that you can then tap into from anywhere? This could be a good muse if it isn't created. Also, for those who understand this, what is available and for how much?
thanks,
Patrick

I use gotomypc.com quite alot and its very good. Almost like being right in front of your personal computer. The neat thing is you can transfer files back and forth from the two computers, and the price is very good.

There are many sites that provide simple online storage. This post http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/01/31/the-online-storage-gang/ describes several. Most of them are incredibly cheap. There are even some applications available that let you use your GMail account as a hardrive, such as the Gspace extension for Firefox.
