    Could anyone please give me any free good remote desktops that I could use to access my home desktop while I am at work?

    I use a iMac at work but have a Dell at home (go figure) but I wanna be able to access my computer from home if need be or just to check some things out like if something finished downloading or moving a file I may need at home on my computer from anywhere I maybe.

    Its not that important that's why I dont wanna pay for anything but I have used orb and that was extremely slow.

    Have you tried this: https://secure.logmein.com/welcome/get_logmein_free/signup.asp

    It is called logmein. As with any free remote application dont expect lightning speeds. But I have tried quite a few and from what it says on the tin it performs quite well. Good appy and free.

    Worth a try.
