4 days 15 hours ago	also, if their "computer" is	also, if their "computer" is "dying" it would probably be best to just pull the hard drive and take files off it when it's not booted on that drive.  It could be that their hard drive is starting to get corrupted and throw bad sector errors, in which case, DON'T BOOT THE COMPUTER. Pull the drive and hook it up to a newer, stable computer as a non-booted hard drive and transfer the files to another hard drive. If the power supply is unstable or the computer is just too slow, you should pull the hard drive. Have them pull the hard drive and send it to you (well-packed and cushioned) and do the work on it that way. Less headache for you, more secure, better chance of recovering files.
4 days 16 hours ago	join.me	I think join.me is the easiest one I've used. You generate a code on the sharing computer and then give that to the remote user, who enters the code. It then "just works." Chrome remote desktop will make you log in to chrome with your google account, which, if it's not your computer, sucks because then that chrome installation (for the windows account) will be tied to your account until you logout in chrome (not just logout of google web account).  RDP (built-in) is ok in that most windows computers have it but it is fiddly.
4 days 16 hours ago	Some things: you need to	Some things: you need to forward a port on the router, 3389 by default, you can change it if you want. RDP without network level authentication (NLA) is pretty insecure, and I don't think windows below windows 7 have NLA in their RDP server.  To get a secure RDP without windows 7+ then you can tunnel it over SSH. This is probably out of your wheelhouse though, so I'm going to leave it at that. Over internet, you should be able to just give an internet-facing IP after you forward the port. (go to www.whatismyip.com on the one you're trying to share, or remote login to)

2 weeks 1 day ago	Honestly all automakers make	Honestly all automakers make decent cars now. Save for the penalty boxes, all cars nowadays are built using the most modern manufacturing processes and controls. They can't afford not to. Gone are the days when assembly line workers would hammer misshapen panels to fit.  Ford's cars are all basically designed in Europe now (fusion, fiesta, focus, escape, cmax are all originally Ford Europe's designs). So are Chrysler's, they took Fiat's platforms for their cars. GM's making less drastic moves but their mechanicals are as reliable today as they were years ago (car may have rusted to dust but the engine runs smoothly).  To the OP, I think you should look at some wagons, or even minivans. There was just a user's review on the cmax, basically said it's a fine car but he would've preferred the Passat TDI. http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/2013-ford-c-max-the-not-jalopnik-review-510999801 As an aside, I would go to VW keeping in mind that their electrical systems are notorious for their undiagnosable errors and some of their suspension components such as control arms and joints are weak. Caveat emptor and so forth. You really need to be looking at something that will hold your whole potential family. So look at wagons and minivans.
