Help your Mom with her computer from the comfort of your own home!

Have you ever received that dreaded call from your mother, father, brother, sister, wife, husband, daughter, son, college roommate, next door neighbor, casual Facebook acquaintance, etc that their computer is broken!  “Broken?” you ask, “what do you mean by broken?”  Inevitably it launches into some diatribe about the thingy with the thing on it, the button deal, or I can’t find the big E.  Depending on the issue, it may be a simple fix, but you can’t be certain unless you can actually get in front of the computer.  Rather than making the long trek across town, state, country or shipping devices via one of the trusted couriers you can always try TeamViewer.  So long as the “disabled” computer has an active Internet connection, you can always take a quick peek.

What’s great, is that if you use TeamViewer for your personal use it’s free! Also, the program works on Windows, Mac, and Linux plus iPhone, iPad, and Android!  I’ve been using it for a couple years now and have never had any issues so why not give it a try the next time you get the question “You’re into computers, right?”.
