RE: RE: Logmein Free is being discontinued - Replacement ?

["Peter Church" <yahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wonder how long it will take TeamViewer to stop offering a
"sponsored"
version.  Hopefully they will learn the need for free versions from their
influx, but maybe work out a better commercial arrangement to retain some
of
their free/home customers.

I'd love to see how many people have set up TeamViewer accounts yesterday!

I got the same notice yesterday 'as of 21st Jan 'free' is no longer
available' .... would have been nice if that email was sent before 21 Jan
though!

I'm installing Teamviewer on the family machines I support but on Mac
(machine I want to control remotely), it seems to that the Teamviewer app
need to be open in the dock for remote control access. Where as logmein
acted like a service, so nothing visible (& easily closed) in the dock,
just
the icon in the top menu bar. It seems quitting the app also removed the
icon in the top menu bar too.

Am I being thick here?

For a long time I did NOT want to use teamviewer as all traffic is routed
