Suppose I'm Happy Windoze User wanting to check my McOutlook Address
and Contact Folder from the road, and I want to RDC to my XP box so I
can run the iPod conduit or whatever for it.  It's my personal
machine, my personal credentials, and (supposedly) locked-down from
access by anyone else.  Are you saying they won't help me with this?
Accessing my own computer remotely?  Are they really THAT Nazi about
which side of the CPE my butt is located?
