I have a very dear friend that just happens to be a bit of a geek, but I could not survive without her.
It's really ironic because we first met during one of our computer break downs at home.
We were beside ourselves trying to get the darn thing to work and called I think every computer tech in town until we hit her phone number.
As it happened she was working right down the street from us and said she could come over and take a look at our problem like within 15 minutes.
How cool is that?
So she arrived and did some voodoo on our key board and fixed it in 20 minutes or less.
We were amazed.
So then a few months later I IM'd her and said, "HELP", it happened again.
Our computer is totally doing strange things and not bringing up programs and not finding stuff and she said, "Not to worry, I can fix it from home where I am now".
Fix it from your house? How can you do that, I asked.
She told me she had purchased Proxy Pro6 remote desktop software and what a great deal she had gotten on it.
It does 256-bit encryption which is the highest class some thing or other and rattle off a couple more technical things that I had no idea what she was talking about.
She could access my data and files by remote, that part I understood and she could troubleshoot my disaster from her computer.
We exchanged a few more words and she said for me to go get a cup of coffee and she would check out my computer.
So I did what she said to do and in that short time while I was gone she had my problem solved already.
What a genius she is, even by remote control.
She says it is the best programming she has ever worked with and how easy it was to navigate it.
I told her I was happy for her because she could so easily help me with my problem.
Wow! What will software people come up with next?
This is so neat because I can feel free to call her even if we have lots of snow in the winter I won't have to bother her to come out in bad weather.
This is sure some modern technology.
I don't have to understand it all as I have my computer guru to do that for me.
