Mark,
Multiple simultaneous users is possible using terminal services under
Windows Server 2003, but to the best of my knowledge, you can't do this on
Windows XP Pro. (If there's a way to have a console user AND an RDP user
under XP Pro, or multiple RDP users, please show me how.)
If you're us
Yep. LogMeIn is free. :-)

Mark,
You'll probably like VNC -- http://www.realvnc.com/ -- Which is a free
alternative to RDP. The main issue with VNC is that the free version does
not have encryption so it's not terribly secure.

Memory leaks are where a program grabs memory when needed, but
doesn't release all of it afterwards. If the machine is up for a long
time, even a minor memory leak can tie up all available RAM, bogging
