Skies Are Friendlier for Holiday Travelers Who Leave Laptops at Home and Access their PCs via the Web

GoToMyPC Lets Travelers Remotely Access Any PC via the Web, Reducing Baggage and Speeding Security Check-in

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — 12/13/2006 — Holiday air travel, never a picnic, is approaching new heights of inconvenience and stress this season. With more travelers and more stringent security regulations, travelers are desperate for relief. To avoid the difficulties of carrying, screening and stowing a laptop, many savvy fliers are leaving their computers at home and using Web-based remote desktop access technology from Citrix Online. With GoToMyPC, travelers can quickly and securely connect to their home PCs from any Web browser – in a hotel, at an Internet café or from Aunt Penelope’s guest room.

And Citrix is offering a free 30-day trial of GoToMyPC®, just in time for the holiday rush.

According to Joe Brancatelli, editor and publisher of http://www.JoeSentMe.com, a website for business travelers, “New strategies are needed to cope with the long lines and confusing security rules at airports. If you can get remote access to your home or office PC at your destination instead of complicating your trip by carrying a laptop, why wouldn’t you?”

Leaving the Computing to GoToMyPC
“Many people are unwilling to give up their PCs during a holiday trip but dread the hassles of lugging a heavy machine around the airport, getting it through security and finding a spot in the overhead bin,” said Brian Donahoo, vice president, products and client services for Citrix Online. “With GoToMyPC, these travelers can ‘leave the computing to us.’” Our secure, easy-to-use and convenient Web-based service means fast connectivity to your home PC desktop, complete with all applications, files and email and your familiar interface.
