Working from a holiday location

Hi,
Back home now; all in all my working away from home was a success, but once again confirmed that you are more vulnerable to disasters. It's obvious really at your home base you likely have spare cables, old monitors, you can't take all that with you. This time the not very old monitor just died, and a short piece of USB cable inexplicably failed. Luckily there was a PC shop not too far. Now I rely on a wonderful service called GOTOMYPC to remotely access my Home PC via the Internet. This means I have access to everything I need, all my data and programs. My remote PC just becomes a console. However after a few days of successful working the broadband connection to my home office, went down. So I had to painfully rebuild my applications on my vacation PC, I had just finished when BT kindly restored my broadband. I was also disappointed that I couldn't make myself get early so I could finish early, I'll have to work on that next year!
