"To live content with small means; to seek
elegance rather than luxury, and refinement
rather than fashion; to be worthy, not
respectable, and wealthy, not, rich; to listen to
stars and birds, babes and sages, with open
heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act
frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry
never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden
and unconscious, grow up through the common--this
is my symphony." - William Henry Channing

seems to require IE). LogMeIn might be useful in
situations where setting up VNC is not practical.
