Logmein has been around several years. Before that they sold a product

They make money when people don't cheap out and actually purchase the
upgraded versions. I used the free version a while before I upgraded
and I love the upgraded features of Pro Version.

I have personally bought a license for the Logmein Pro, Android and
iPad apps.

I suppose there's always a chance they are bad guys, but so far it has
worked flawlessly for me.

Richard, do you happen to know the folks at logmein? This sounds a
little like TeamViewer, another "great" service for remote access.
These folk make me nervous. First, you didn't hear of them yesterday,
and today they have 100 gazillion customers. Second, you're basically
handing them your network and asking them to control who has access to
it... all in your interest, and all for free. Say, what? Who pays for
their servers, communications equipment, operations and whatnot? Is
this out of the kindness of their hearts, or is there more to it than
meets the eye?

Same with those services that'll "keep your data safe and away from
prying eyes" network storage solution centers. Here's some money and
all my business and personal details. Please be sure nobody sees them.
I trust you because you have cool advertising.

And don't get me started about all the cool things Google is doing "for
us."

Call me skeptical, but I'd like to know of one of these that somebody
actually *knows*.

I am not picking on you nor on your post. This is just an area of
interest for me.
