Get a free logmein.com account on one your desktop and leave it on or
in a mode that can be awoken from the internet. <br>
<br>
Then, anywhere in the world you've got internet access, with the
tablet browser (or any other computer with a browser), log into
logmein.com and access your desktop. Caveate : so long as you've got
secure login setup and are in a
reasonably secure wifi node, it's a reasonably secure connection.
There may be some modest security issues on an open public wifi hot
spot populated by the wrong crowd. <br>
<br>
You can view (and take action on) most any program and file you have
on your laptop within your tablet browser. Fine print -- Editing is a
modest hassle on the n800. With the n810, or tablet with keyboard,
remote editing is easy. There are some modest limits on refresh time
and perhaps color depth, as I recall. <br>
<br>
To be able to easily transfer and print files between a remote and
home computer, logmein.com offers a modestly affordable monthly
service. <br>
<br>
Always, Fred C<br>

I don't want to create documents, I just want to view PowerPoint. And
maybe Word. And maybe**2 Excel. Not all in one huge app. For when I'm at
a multi-stream conference and want to review the slides to figure out
which session to attend.
Anything that does that ?
Come to think of it, I don't need it actually in the tablet. Some service
that converted it to PDF online would be great (Google's HTML version of
PowerPoint is I guess part of their indexing process and doesn't seem to
preserve the layout/graphics particularly well).
