FWIW...
I didn't see this on any of the forum's, so I wanted to pass it on.
I've been looking for a good tool to run my Dell from my desktop and found "Pocket Controller" from Soft Object Technologies, Inc. I just love it. I'm developing some S/W and it is great for that. $25. On XP it has been very stable.
