Speaking of "workarounds" ...

Hope this doesn't seem "over the top", but with the Ipad 2 wouldn't you be able to have the Logos app and logmein running at the same time?

If you purchase the LogMeIn App for $29, are you required to pay for the subscription on each of the computer(s) you are logging into?

The LogMeIn app allows you to access multiple computers for the same price. You have to install the LogMeIn software on each of those computers, but that's free.

I must thank you for all of the videos and support you provide on this forum.  You are truly a blessing brother!

Thanks [:)]

Is there a messaging feature to send PM's to each other on this forum?

No, unfortunately. You can add a comment to someone's profile by clicking on their username. It's a public comment, but has the advantage of emailing the recipient to notify them.

Over all are you pleased with the functionality with Logos? And lastly, are you limited in any ways not having a mouse?

LogMeIn does a great job of emulating a mouse. You basically move your finger across the screen, and the mouse moves too. But the great thing is that the mouse moves in parallel with your finger, not directly underneath your finger (which means you can see exactly where the mouse cursor is - it's not obscured). Then, when you want to click, you just tap anywhere on the screen. The 'click' will occur where the mouse cursor is, not where your finger is. That means it's really easy to be precise. Using various finger combinations you can select text, right click, zoom in, pretty much anything you can do with a mouse you can do with LogMeIn.

There's no loss of functionality at all, other than the small screen. If you want, give me a few small tasks to do, and I'll do it using LogMeIn and make a video recording for you.

BTW - side note to you, Mark: I put together some Logos helps for friends who are new to Logos. These notes include links to your videos too. I think it might be helpful if posted to the WIKI, but don't want to be presumptuous. Maybe I'll start a new thread and post it there - maybe you (and maybe Rosie is no doubt lurking around somewhere out there) could offer suggestions to edit parts, scrap the whole or simply post it

Sounds great. If you're creating a new page, just go ahead and do it, then post a link asking for feedback. I'm sure steve clark and other Wiki users would have some useful input as well as some of the MVPs. Once you're happy with the page, we could then create some links to it from other pages.

Hah - made the video, but it didn't fully work. It looks like my screen capture program clashes with LogMeIn - probably because both are capturing the screen and sending it to different places - one to a file, and one to the iPad. If you want I can still upload it, but all the drop down menus are missing (e.g. visual filters, tools, right-click, etc.). I saw these fine on the iPhone, but they didn't capture to the video.

But CAN it be done is the question? And, how well could it work? 

Hi Ron, 

I had the same question and was reluctant to shell out for LogMeIn without being certain that it would meet my expectations. Consequently, I bought SplashTop which is a similar idea to LogMeIn but costs considerably less (£2.99 in UK Sterling). I cannot confirm whether it has all the functionality as LogMeIn (I suspect not at this price), but, if nothing else, it will give you an indication of the relative merits of controlling your desktop remotely from the iPad. The experience is, overall, good, but I agree with Mark that the resolution is an issue (I am forever zooming in order to hit the right link).

Just to be clear, I am not in a position to recommend SplashTop over LogMeIn, it is, however, a cheap way to explore whether this kind of remote access will be useful to you.
