Wow. I love tech when it works properly.
I just got a call from my sister who was having trouble with her Windows XP desktop. The only resource I had to hand was my Archos G9 tablet and a Mi Fi dongle in a fairly poor signal area. I was able to download the "Teamviewer" app from the market, and within 5 minutes, I was remotely controlling her machine from my tablet. Within 10 minutes, the problem was fixed.

Massive props to Teamviewer (www.teamviewer.com) for a) excellent cross platform support b) providing free of charge non commercial use c) a service that actually works in practice.

Also massive Props to Archos (www.archos.com) for making a tablet for < £300 that actually performs well.

How cool is that?
