Thanks for the wrap up! I've used VNC a while and love it, but I really need something that is basically, "Mom, click on this link...ok, you're done." :) I've tried a couple of the others, and Teamviewer seems to be the best except for one minor problem. Every time I connect to my friends PC we both lose the capability to click on anything. We can both move the mouse around the screen without a problem, but mouse clicking is a no go. Strange thing is, even if I disconnect, he now no longer has any mouse click ability and has to reboot.

Most of these folks are not technical, so trying to troubleshoot problems over the phone can often be a challenge. Anyone know of a simple to use, and preferably free, service that would allow for remote viewing/control of their PC's. I know there's WebEx and GoToMyPC, but I hate to pay for something I'd use once every two months. I also know about VNC, but trying to walk someone through opening up ports on their router that thinks their Internet is broken when their homepage gets changed is not realistic.

Anyone know of anything that would be easy to set up and use?

Musicians Protest Use Of Songs By US Jailers 210

The guy who wrote the Barney "I love you" song, and other musicians are banding together to protest the US military using their songs as weapons. The campaign has brought together groups including Massive Attack and musicians such as Tom Morello, who played with Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave. It will feature minutes of silence during concerts and festivals, said Chloe Davies of the British law group Reprieve, which represents dozens of Guantanamo Bay detainees and is organizing the campaign.

Lucas has become destroyer of worlds in my opinion. First Star Wars and now Indiana Jones. So, I'm left wondering, how much money does one really need? Apparently it's worth ruining your reputation for in George's case...
