Am I A Computer Addict? - Actually I think I Am!

Am I A Computer Addict?

Actually I think that I am very much addicted to my computer! I saw a post from someone that was promoting his website and I'm assuming that his website is about computer addiction and whether one is a computer addict or not.

Actually I think that I am quite addicted to my computer. I mean it helps some that my computer IS my work so a little bit of computer addiction could be quite understandable!

There have been times when I have started logging into my computer during the afternoon and the next thing I know night has come and gone and the day is starting to dawn!

There have been times when I have come across a computer problem so difficult and frustrating that I will continue to work on it until I get it solved - which happens half of the time.

There have been times when I have been working at the computer and my stomach starts to growl and yet and still I still stay at the computer and continue working.

Now I know I'm not 100% addicted to my computer because I know that there are other things that have to be done.

I mean I do got out - usually because I have to go shopping or something like that and there have been a few times when I have let a day go by without being at my computer at all! But I usually am NOT away from my computer more that 24 hours!

So while I may not be addicted addicted - I sure am close to it!

Here's a test I found online

Internet? Please. You're definitely not geeky enough to be that addicted. You have a full life off your computer - and the internet is just a small pastime.

Need To Access Another's Computer Far, Far Away?

If you're someone that works on computers you probably have clients that are located far from you and it will require a lot of time on your part to go back and forth to help service your clients' computers.

Have you ever thought of being able to work on another's computer by a remote access? There are a number of programs that can help you do this. Basically the principle is the same. What you do is create an EXE-file (server), send it to the person in need who opens it, so you can take over with a viewer.

Here are just a few programs that can help you with this:

• Hidden Administrator is a simple to use remote PC administrationprogram. Control the desktop of a remote computer, send messages,shutdown and restart remote PC, perform administrative tasks, more.
  
  
• Try LogMeIn Free. It works well but has to be installed on both computers. This program also allows your client to see what you will be doing to his computer by remote.
  
  
  
• You can try Hamachi, and then you can remote desktop into another computer if it is running XP Pro.
  
  
• A more advanced program that you can try is Single Click UltraVNC.
  
  
• You can also try PCHelpware which some think is easier to set up and install.
