What 1188 Price Tag? Where you looking at the Free LogMeIn version? The free LogMeIn app works great. I use it for about 25 PCs, where I have folks without a VPN. If I want to transfer files I go through my ftp Server. A bit inconvenient compared to their Paid version, but to save the $ it is fine - a minor issue at worst.
