Using iPad with Gotomypc to work filepro at home

[Nancy Palmquist]

Just wanted to add what was discovered on this quest.

GOTOMYPC does not support external keyboards on iPad so it will not work 
to use the external keyboard.  Other Remote services indicated the same, 
so this was scraped.

The screen keyboard would work, up to the Function keys which would be a 
pain.

So the customer is going to get a  desktop and make the kids work off 
the cost of the iPad...  Joke for sure but it was not a purchase made 
with thought it was emotional.
