But I think you need to be a Dutch resident to be allowed to use it.
You probably don't need to be a Dutch resident to
use it (i.e. I doubt they filter on the basis of a "IP to country" lookup like e.g. the BBC does with Iplayer) but you may need to have a Dutch address to get the login (same as with Afpex you need to show a UK address), and more importantly it possibly works only with flights which start or end in Holland. Olivia is in the same category; some people say they managed to file flight plans wholly outside France with it, while others report that flight plans thus filed just vanished. This has been a recurring issue with online flight planning services, which have been around for a number of years now. Homebriefing.com were the first to actually officially state that they support flight plans from anywhere to anywhere.
I hope you're not tarring me with that brush this time
Not you
An unrelated side effect is the better performance
How is it better, when IME the performance bottleneck is the desktop size times the colour depth times the compressibility of the data? FWIW, I've been playing with various forms of remote desktop for years and they are all pretty much the same. Given sufficient CPU / router encryption etc performance at the two ends, which nowadays is easy even for AES256 or 3DES when running up a 448k ADSL UPlink, and a given connection speed (which in this context will be 448k or whatever the GPRS/3G/WIFI link is throttled to) I find RDP runs at exactly the same speed as e.g. PC/Anywhere. PC/A has a lot of slick features (like the ability to drop down to a 4 colour rendition if you are just entering/editing text) but is unreliable and thus I did not mention it. Citrix (an improved version of RDP) claims to have a smarter compression but from what I can see is far too complex to set up.
