This invention allows a user to access and use the software in his/her primary PC from remotely located "dumb" peripheral hardware which can comprise a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and a modem. The only function of the peripheral hardware is to send information signals to the remotely located primary PC where they are processed and transmitted back to the peripheral hardware for display and use by the user. The information signals sent from the peripheral hardware to the remotely located primary PC can be in the form of raw, unprocessed signals. The peripheral hardware uses the computing power of the primary PC; the CPU, applications, files and services of the primary PC to process the raw signals. Therefore, as the peripheral hardware needs only very limited power, it does not require its own software and associated hardware to duplicate such processing functions.
