From wire reports working on the Road by Joe Fasbinder United press International lots of people have discovered this about Laptop and notebook computers a they Arentt desktop computers. You probably have a desktop computer at Home or at work on the desk. And chances Are you either own or want a notebook computer. They re Nice even if they re often not very fast or powerful. And of course if you own a Laptop computer the application that you really need is going to be on the desktop machine Miles and Miles away. Wait a there a a solution. Syman Tec corp., which makes All that powerful Norton software has Intro Ducco the newest entry in a growing category of Remote computing and communications software. Norton pc anywhere version 5.0 for Dos allows users to actually control a desktop computer from a Remote location from either a desktop or a notebook machine. Like virtually anything that bears Peter Norton a name the software works a simply elegantly and just As acc documentation says it will. However it works slowly. Blame the phone company. Blame the fact that the information superhighway is still under construction. Norton pc anywhere loads up onto a Remote pc or a Laptop notebook computer and lets you dial into your Home or office machine through a Modem. Both machines have to have modems inside. And in the Case of the Home office machine it has to be attached to a phone line that Isnit used for anything else like a Telephone answering machine. Figure about $50 to install a new phone line if that what you want to do to run pc anywhere. Its probably Worth the Cost if you compare this to the Cost of replacing disk drives or other internal components of your notebook computer to bring it up to where your desktop machine is. Of course you can use Norton pc anywhere on a regular no dedicated phone line. It just requires you to have a person at the other end of the line switch the thing from a Telephone to the Modem on your Home pc.

You just use the included communications program to dial up your Home office computer then a couple of simple Steps put you in control of the machine remotely. From there you can run sophisticated applications that most people leave on the Home machine because they re so big or Are not used often. A Good example is Ventura for windows. Its a wonderful desktop publisher but even a minimum installation of Ven Tura takes up 11 megabytes of precious hard disk space. So if you want to construct a document under Ventura while you re on the Road you can use pc anywhere to do so from your Remote computer Over a Telephone line just As if you were sitting in front of the machine at Home. Well almost. Limits imposed by the Speed at which computers can communicate Over Telephone lines mean that moving the cursor around the screen a especially with programs that operate under windows a will be slow. Agonizingly slow if you re using a 2400 bps Modem. However if you re using pc anywhere on a local at a network inc Speed at which you operate can be surprisingly fast. And if you network is Large such As a wide area network pc anywhere can be a real godsend. With pc anywhere someone who knows about computers can go into a Remote location move things around on a pc that might be Miles away and make things work a without having to show up in person for a service Call. So pc anywhere can even save you Gas. Norton pc anywhere 5.0 has a suggested retail Price of $179 and registered users of pc anywhere 4.5 can upgrade for just $49,95. Of course if you look around you can probably find the program for a lot less through a discount toll on Haiti s youngest by David Beard the associated press gon Aives Haiti a on the Way to this Dusty scorching City people squat on the Sandy Roadside clawing for kernels of Corn that spilled Days earlier from a truck.
