In fact even after looking at the blurb below I STILL cannot understand it Reasons: - They are purportedly seeking computer savvy people - They are offering access to your own computer from anyother machine For full access to your machine I would have thought that they would need to - Use Internet Explorer to download a program (active scripting?) - Within that access your computer, presumably with ssh Which means that tvwgroup has access to your computer and files. If I have rights to download programs on a windows machine then I can download putty and access my computer anyway. If they are providing Ubuntu then that comes with ssh anyway. Without more knowledge on how they propose to give me access: no thanks <snip> From http://www.tvwgroup.net/About_Us.html We are a small boutique IT company nestled in the Chicagoland area. We are targeting the computer savvy consumer and small businesses as the primary user of our Virtual Cloud Computing Solution. First and foremost we want our name to be synonymous with “Good Corporate Citizen”. We are currently seeking venture capital funding to be able to provide our solution to a wider audience. The survey will serve as evidence of the market for those that could benefit from an alternate desktop computing experience. We will send you updated timelines as to when we will start the beta phase of our project. As a result of your participation in the survey, we are attempting to secure for you 1 free hour of computer technical support. We are also seeking to secure for you 1 hour of free Wi-Fi at the nations airports and hotels, during those times when business just cannot wait. We are seeking to partner with the Marriott hotel chain to provide you with an enhanced in-room computing experience. We will attempt to provide you sources of other technical services that will appeal to your inner geek. We will send an email newsletter advising you of news that is hot off the press as it relates to our pending start-up operations. -- Henry Photocopies or faxes of my signature are not binding.
