Hi,

Personally I wouldn't give them money.

It seems to be done via a webpage giving you the image the desktop so would be 
inaccessible.  It didn't mention RDP or Citrix anywhere which is disappointing.

On the flip side you can do the following:

1.  Set up an account with www.dyndns.org.
2.  Enable remote desktop - on XP Pro, unfortunately.
3.  Install a screen reader with RDP support (I use WindowEyes for this).
4.  From remote location go to your desktop using dyndns.org name, and run WE 
from the virtual desktop.

Andrew.

                                Hi, anyone tried using them with a screen 
reader?

GoToMyPC enables you to access your own desktop 
from anywhere around the globe at around 
£12/month.  Might be useful if you are prepared 
to leave the PC online whilst travelling!
