Further to Remote Desktop Access during this COVID-19 time - Roundtable

27 May 2020

      Hello fellow MUUGers.
At the last MUUG round table, I mentioned I use a paid remote desktop 
service called "Splashtop" to access my office computers from home.
They have a very reasonable commercial rate of only $99 per year for 
access for up to 10 computers.
Well today, they just announced a major upgrade to their streaming for 
no additional charge and I just had to highly recommend them if you are 
looking for professional remote desktop solutions during this work from 
home time.
They have awesome multi-monitor, and iphone/android support, which is 
the major reason why I use them over open source solutions. That and the 
fact that I've never had any issues using their software over the last 
12 months. Their software just works.
YMMV.
