Is there a free program out there that will give me remote access to their machine, so I can fix this stuff from home? I just bought them a Mac Mini (Thanks Burninator!) and I would be accessing by remote with another Mac. Their machine I replaced was a 8 year old PC running XP. I have a feeling the next couple months are going to be very troubling, as I already have 5 texts from my mother about how things work, and they haven't even had it 24 hours yet. It would be far easier for me to fix this stuff via remote.

for fun you should format the drive on that old PC and drop a copy of Ubuntu on it. Youll be amazed at the rocketship it still is. Then you can use the Ubuntu computer as a living room entertainment unit or give it to the kids.
