Remote Control a PC for Free

Having remote control over a pc can come in very handy, especially when its free! For example, there have been many times where I have left an important file on my home pc and need to access it when I'm at school or a friends house. By having the capability to remote control my home pc my data is always easily accessible. Another advantage of remote controlling a pc is that you can bypass any filters or restrictions on which ever computer you are using (like a schools computer). And of course you can always help your less tech savy family with their pc problems, remotely. For free pc remote control I would highly recommend using Logmein.com because it offers several unique capabilities such as being able to remote control a Macintosh, Windows (XP, Vista) and even Linux pc's. LogMeIn is web based so you can access your home pc without installing any software on who's computer your using. LogMeIn is simple to use and 100% free. The only down side is that there is no file transfer capability in the free version so if you need a file (like a school report, ect.) then you will need to email it to yourself to access it; or you can just copy and paste of course (if its just text, no music or actual files).
