Preface

It's 5:45 p.m., and in just a few sweet moments, you can finally finish the day's work and run out home. Suddenly, the phone rings, sending a shudder through your spine. You recognize the number immediately. It's Mr. McClueless from the downtown office, again. "Sorry, buddy," he whines, "my kids screwed up my computer again." Yeah, right! His "kids". Your stomach turns in protest, realizing you can kiss that planned steak dinner goodbye, as you're about to spend the next 2 hours walking the guy through setting up the VPN for the sixth time this month. If you only had direct access, you would probably be stuffing some serious sirloin into your mouth instead.

Well, it's probably too late to save this dinner, but direct access is so easy to set up now, that you can actually promise your boss (and by that we mean your wife, of course) that starting tomorrow, dinner will be served on time!
