Which is the better deal? Go To My PC at $10 a month or more forever or buy Apple Remote Desktop for a one-time fee of $80? No, these two products are not perfect substitutes, but there are enough similarities to make the comparison.

That said, Apple Remote Desktop Admin 3.6.1 (download) and Apple Remote Desktop 3.6.2 Client (download) are now available. For what it’s worth, both purport to improve the “overall stability and reliability.”

So, back to the question — when mom’s Mac needs some fixin’, which remote solution do you use or are you still showing up in person and extorting a home cooked meal?

“Mom, if you loved me, and Words with Friends, as much as you say, there’d be some pie on this plate.”

Can’t stand the guilt anymore? Get Apple Remote Desktop on the Mac App Store for the aforementioned $80…
