Can someone make me feel good about spending $99 for PCAnywhere when VNC is free?

[bob733]

Hi,
Like a dummy, I bought (after 3 glasses of wine) PCAnywhere for a discounted $99 bucks because I thought the $100 off was a great deal.

Then, after buying it, I found out I could have accomplished the same thing (I wanted to do) with free programs like TightVnc or UltraVnc. I actually downloaded them and they did everything I wanted the $99 PCAnywhere to do.

So, can anyone tell my my $99 bucks is not wasted? The 3 glasses of wine were not even that good to warrent spending the money foolishly!

Thanks (hopfully),
Bob

not a fan of pcanywhere. the slowness is my main concern.

IMHO you wasted your money. Im sure there is people out there who like the product. What os are you running?

write it off to experience...we've all done things that we regretted (especially after 3 glasses of wine, lol)...once, long ago, I was really drunk..and I almost...well, im ashamed to admit it..but I, almost..well, actually I thought about..actually ....voting democrat. Yes I am ashamed but I did think about it.

If it makes you feel any better, I blew a $165 rebate cuz I waited to long to send it...so I wasted more than you....and I was sober when I did it!

GZ3,

Radmin (client) also works quite well running through wine in linux.

I am running Windows XP... and to the response about waiting for rebates... welcome to my world... I am a 2 (or 3 at least) time loser on that area of stupidity.

Oh Well, the $99 bucks is being chalked up to gross stupidity (as I usually do research to see if there are like type products out there I can download (shareware and all that.))

How in the heck does Symantec get away with that... I know, I know... It is because there are a bunch of idiots like me out there biting the hook.

Don't feel bad.

I accidently bought 2 copies of WinFax Pro v 10.0

Forgot I had already bought the first one.
