Go to my PC?

There are likely dozens of ways to gain access to another computer across the Internet. The sort of thing you wish to do when home or at work when you need to use the other PC. Some cost money, others are hard to use, etc. etc.

I've been thinking, for a while, that it might be nice to gain access to my PC, but it's on cable broadband, behind a few NATs or so, and probably costs money or some such.

Then, just yesterday, a business issue arose that it would have been darn handy to have that access. And I thought, well I better get some AccessMyPCFromAfar.com account, or what-have-you.

Enter: Hamachi (courtesy Steve Sajous):

All I can say is:

I love it when a plan comes together
