Thanks, Tom.
What free remote control software should I install on my father's computer so I can support him from over here? Or is there a web site app that someone recommends?
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I use LogMeIn to support family. The first 30 days you have full features, after that you still get free remote control, and have to come up with your own file transfers or pay them for better features.
The basic is free, though, and I can connect between Macs and PCs, and I think they have phone apps, now.

I love logmein and they have iphone and ipad apps that work really well.
In addition to logmein, you might want to look into gotomypc or gotoassist.

Logmein tries really hard to pitch Pro, obviously, but with so little grounds for the feature set. I've installed Free on my father's computer.
And I've decided to give him Microsoft Security Essentials. I'll let my sister go with whatever year long free trial thingy she got with the laptop and then recommend AVG for her.

I don't know if you all have access to IOS Game Center on Android, but if you need suggestions/strategies about Pocket Frogs, I am ever more an enabler.
Pocket Frogs Wiki is my go-to spot for info.
I am still actively playing and it has been over a year!
