I'll definitely be around for all of this.  I disagree with the mouse though..

R.A.T. 9 all the way!

Can I add, I've never used splashtop, but logmein is amazing.  http://www.logmein.com I've been using it for all of my computers and servers for years.  It's insanely fast, supports so many amazing features like screen resolution matching, changing on the fly, autodetect or force network speeds to adjust quality settings, Wake on LAN (you can turn your computer ON even if it's off, remotely), tons of amazing security features, everything from a card with a list of unique codes all the way to texting you a unique code every time you log on... tons and tons of time tested and rock solid features.  There are way too many to list.

Being an IT pro I was very skeptical and preferred using mstsc (Microsoft terminal services or "remote desktop" as it's called now).  Fast forward a few years, I'm a firm believer.  It's faster and way more secure than anything else I've seen.

It's really good.  And it's free.

I use to use logmein, and liked it. I've recently started using splashtop and like it more. Mainly because logmein costs far too much - or at least it did when I last saw it.  If logmein dropped in price on the market I might pick it up and give it another shot.

I also use LogMeIn and vouch for it.  All you need to download is the desktop client on to whatever computer you're wanting to connect to, then you can access that computer from any internet-connected device through logmein.com.  That is free.

Then there is the LogMeIn Ignition app for iOS, Android, and PC.  Ignition costs money, but is a dedicated app which makes things easier on your mobile device while also giving you additional functionality.  It's not needed, though.

I just tested the Splashtop iPad app (Currently on sale for $2.99) with Star War Galaxies, and it ran perfectly.  Going to test a few more games.

I think Splashtop just became my most favorite app.

Well I got a little To Do List, to maximize my gameplay, I don't really recommend this to anyone but...
it goes like this:
1.- End your current relationship. Done! I managed to make her understand we'll be better as lovers, so I still get the benefits. WIN!
2.- Get a new rig. On process. I'm in negotiations to get me a loan to get a good gaming machine.
3.- Quit your job. As Soon as number 2 is checked.

LogMeIn iOS app now free for remote desktop access

Just used it to log in and do some crew skill missions.  Works faster and better than the Windows app.  Blown away.  Super smooth, amazingly fast.  Give it a try, I'm sure you'll like it better than teamviewer and splashtop.

I prefer the Steelseries Cata mouse to the Naga, anyday, anytime, anywhere.  I used the Naga for about 3 months so I gave myself ample time to adjust and "love" it but that never happened.

I picked up the Steelseries Cata mouse and within a week I was used to it, I never hit a button on accident, and once you get used to it being a little bigger than most mice it feels great in your hand.  Been using it for a year+ no problems; works perfect.  I bind 18 spells to unmistakable buttons without using left or right click.  Aside from my mx518 which lasted me a good 5-7 years (now that I think about it, I don't think anything is actually wrong with it), best mouse I've ever used.

NOTICE: I am adding a disclaimer to every post I've made 'praising' the Steelseries Cata mouse.  I made these posts prior to configuring (or attempting to configure) the mouse for SWTOR.  I am having trouble finding a reliable key-mapping setup and may be forced to resort back to my Naga if I cannot find a solution. I am very sad.

[likwidtek]

Just admit it.  You can't handle the Naga.  It's too hardcore for you.  

[Saint]

likwidtek, on that logmein software you were using, were you using an iphone or ipad to do it. and is it good enought to play other than the crew skill stuff?

[likwidtek]

No it's just good for logging in and doing some crew missions.  You can't fully play the game, it's just not that fast.  You can chat in guild, do crafting, crew missions, stuff like that.

Been trying to use Splashtop, it's great.  Only issue is I have to leave my PC in hibernation for Wake on LAN to work.  I don't like the idea of doing that all the time.
