I'm not sure that's true because I ran it on three different machines without any issues. It was only in the trial mode as I've not received my full copy yet from the Parallels. I'll ask my contact there about this.Dr. Kevin Purcell, Director of Missions

I have used LogMeIn for business for years but recently switched to Splashtop for using Logos at home.
For simple use with Logos, I can't see that Access actually allows anything that is not possible with the other options. The interface is nice, but not $80/year nice. Switching between applications is actually quicker from the native Windows taskbar in Splashtop. The one finger scrolling is useful sometimes but causes chaos at other times—most of my resources are in paged view.
None of these applications gives seamless transition between left-clicking, right-clicking, hovering and scrolling without switching between different modes or having to use a cursor that isn't where your finger is.
Access might be better for extensive work in Word, but I would want a proper keyboard to do that anyway.
I'll stick to Splashtop for now. The only thing I struggle with is scrolling down in the information panel. The two-finger swipe doesn't work. I have to long-press on the scroll bar to get a page-down option.
If you are comparing Parallels Desktop's mobile interface to Splashtop, you're right. It's not as elegant. But the Parallels Acces is a differnt animal and it's much nicer. I've used Splashtop and I don't find it working nearly as well as Access.
The price is a little high. But to get full Logos all the time, makes it worth it for me. I may not run the Logos Bible app on my iPad anymore now.

I was comparing Parallels Access with Splashtop. I installed it yesterday and can't see that it allows me to do anything much in Logos that I can't do in a cheaper program. Tell me if I've missed something.

I get full Logos all the time from LogMeIn and Splashtop. LogMeIn has a free version. I prefer the Splashtop interface for Logos use. The free version of this works at home (on the same network as the PC) and the version that works over the internet is only £12 per year.
Kevin, you are obviously delighted with your new toy, but I'm saving my money.
