Correct . . . I've gotten very used to logging into my home PC from anywhere
and using my own programs. I never bother transferring files to a portable
disk or my laptop anymore because I know I can just log in and work on the
same version of the file from anywhere. I guess I'll be looking into RealVNC
or similar, because the jump in price from Home Premium to Ultimate is an
awful lot to pay for one feature (at least only one that I want/need).
