I tried GoToMyPC in 2003 ago prior to an international trip. Alas and stupidly it required, at least at that stage, code to be downloaded and run on the remote PC. Try getting them to let you do that in an internet cafe in Prague/Berlin/Amsterdam/Munich, or even Dublin. A total non starter at that point. Didn't stop them spamming me for years afterwards though with 'please come back, all is forgiven' entreaties.
