I use Teamviewer too.

You don't say which version of Windows you have, but some
versions include a remote desktop program from MS.

I believe I used the MS one too plus many others as well. What I
hated about all of them was the one sending the desktop to the
other machine was busting its butt. Meaning it hits the CPU very
hard and some machines could be in danger of overheating.

I have never seen that behavior here. Everything looks normal,
CPU-wise, on the sending machine.

Okay let us clarify. We are talking about operating another
computer from a remote location right? And seeing the desktop and
doing anything on that computer from another one, right?

I *think* we mean the same thing.

Okay, yes. well which programs do you use that you don't see it?

And yes, I haven't used this old netbook in awhile. Still working out
the bugs. ;-)

I think you're getting ready to tell me that it was a specific
program that was pegging your CPU and that it had nothing to do with
RDP. Can I just agree in advance?

Au contraire! How would any RDP be any different than the others that I
have already tried?

Did you notice that I said it *wasn't* the RDP stuff that was causing your
CPU problem? I'm guessing it was some other application that you happened to
be running at the time, although that's just a guess. Given your track
record of buying anemic-CPU systems, it probably wouldn't take much to peg
the CPU.

I use RDP and TeamViewer multiple times daily, for several hours at a time,
and I've never seen any CPU issues like you describe.

ROFL!

Yes, it amused me too, which is why I added it to my quotes file. I'm
afraid I can't remember where I go it.

I think he was suggesting that it was the remote machine - i. e. the one
being controlled, not the one doing the controlling - that might get
hot. (As that's the one that has to generate the video. And as it's the
remote one, you might not be aware of the fact.) [Though I've used TV on
machines I _was_ near to and not experienced this.]

Yep, I know what he was suggesting, and I simply don't buy it.

Ah well, I can't remember who said that the Germans their words in a
funny order put - might have been one of my parents, both language
teachers. [I grew up (well, age 6-11) in Germany, though nominally in a
British environment.]

You are right about German word order. Although they probably think
it's die Englische who their words in a funny order put. Of course,
they're wrong :-)

There's a phrase "Pennsylvania Dutch", which really should be
"Pennsylvania Deutsch", that refers to parts of Pennsylvania settloed
by German people, and in those areas, some idioms are the result of the
influence of those people.

Three's also an enclave in Philadelphia called Germantown; I've always
assumed it was settled by German speakers long before Phillie engulfed
it with a pseudopod.
