Eh, I think a wifi laptop at work is still a better idea.
Oh, is this thread about Leo?

If you don't have XP, you can also use a free program called WinVNC to accomplish the same goal. I'd be happy to walk you through setting it up if you like.
Yes, you do need to leave a PC on all day, but if you turn off the monitor and don't use a fancy 3d screen saver (which keeps the CPU busy) then it takes very little juice to run a modern PC, unless of course you have a cheeseburger model...
Using a separate laptop can be, how shall we put this, conspicuous. Whereas a remote desktop is gone with a click.
