PDA as remote control for PC or Media Center

Well after recycling my laptop with the broken screen into a media center for the front room TV, I decided what it was missing was a remote control!

So I installed TightVNC, a FREE open source program for controlling another computer, on the laptop, and the viewer on my Pharos GPS535 PDA.

After a minute to install, and a minute to set up, I had full control of the Laptop media Center from my PDA!

Added bonus, it’s full color screen on the PDA offers an awesome view when working on the Laptop remotely!
