This may be one of those things that everyone else in the world knows about and have not told me (like DS r4 gadgets) but..
our darling son poured a bottle of Fruit Shoot (black current if you are interested) onto my sexy acer laptop and took out 1300 quids worth of laptop in about 3 seconds.. grr
so i dig around and pull out an old samsung which runs XP… just
so i thinks just use the laptop as a dumb terminal to one of the desktop machines in the house.. great except I often log into the main PC from work during the day.
i turns out that bloody microsoft disabled multiuser functionality in the final release of SP2 (which was meant to enable multi user)
but naturally someone out there put it back 🙂
so now i can use logmein to log in from work while lis is logged in using remote desktop .. woot.. a 3rd person could also be sat at the keyboard but not sure if my PC is up to more than 2 users.
