Doctor Mel,

No, just working out the "bugs". I have been really impressed with Chrome Remote desktop (CRD), until the multiple monitor support went south. I can switch to single monitor display on my desktop, but then the screen on my Chromebook is too small to be efficient with AC and Updox opened at the same time. I have to maximize and minimize windows too many times.

The VNC viewer I think is a bit snappier, and works better with Citrix/Meditech for radiology imaging projection on the large TV screen than the CRD. I have it only on the local network for now, but for the paid version, then I will be able to remote over the internet securely. The scroll between screens horizontally and vertically is faster than CRD, so am trying to get use to this change. One thing I like a bit better on the CRD is the ability to tab out and get onto the internet with another tab on the Chromebook and then tab right back into the CRD window. With VNC I have to close the app to get to the internet.

The 2x RDP client, I think, does not support multiple monitors, but will have to research this a bit.

So, I think I will likely do the VNC viewer 30 day trial for the ability to use both intranet and internet features with encryption, while travelling to the south this week.

However,to be efficient with the Chromebook in the exam room, IMHO, you have to have at least dual monitor support with your remote app.

I think I am noticing improved patient satisfaction, easier intake/data entry with new patients, less stress with add ons, and saving trees with less printing to paper, with the TV display/chromebook/dual monitor remote support in exam room.
