-==== Critical Limitations ====
-**Skype's Fatal Flaws:**
-. **No True Multi-Screen:**
-   - You must **alt-tab between monitors**, missing real-time data.
-. **Low Framerate:**
-   - Capped at **15FPS** in screen sharing (charts look choppy).
-. **No Trading Optimizations:**
-   - Lacks **HEVC encoding**, **competitive mode**, or **view-only** security.
-**Why Alternatives Win:**
+== 1. AnyDesk ==
-- **Parsec/Teradici:**
-  - See **both screens side-by-side** in one window.
-  - **Sub-100ms latency** (vs. Skype’s 300ms+).
-  - Local trader **keeps full control**.
-- **RustDesk:**
-  - Self-hosted for **data privacy**.
-  - No subscription fees.
-=== Workflow Impact ===
+Why It’s Good
-| Scenario                | Skype                          | Parsec/Teradici               |
-|-------------------------|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
-| **Trader Reaction Time** | Miss 1-2 second price moves   | See **real-time** ticks        |
-| **Chart Clarity**       | Blurry (720p)                 | Pixel-perfect (4K + HEVC)      |
-| **Emergency Actions**   | Disrupts trader to reconnect  | Auto-reconnects silently       |
-==== Migration Checklist ====
+Lightweight, fast, and tends to perform well even on slower connections.
-. **Immediate Stopgap:**
-   - Use **RustDesk Free** (dual-screen via `Ctrl+Alt+M`).
-. **Professional Setup:**
-   - **Parsec Individual** ($10/month) for low latency.
-   - **Teradici** if compliance is critical (FINRA/SEC).
-. **Test:**
-   - Compare latency during **pre-market hours**.
-// **Avoid Skype** for any time-sensitive trading support //
+Easy multi-monitor support: If you have two monitors, your remote partner can switch between them or see them in tabs.
+Free for personal use (paid plans for business).
+Potential Downsides
+The free version is for non-commercial use only.
+Slightly simpler interface than TeamViewer but can still feel “techy” for non-IT folks.
+== 2. Splashtop ==
+Why It’s Good
+High performance and minimal lag (it’s known for good streaming quality).
+Simple multi-monitor handling; you can switch between displays or view them side-by-side.
+Multiple products tailored to different needs (personal, business, SOS for support, etc.).
+Potential Downsides
+The free version is limited to personal use within a local network.
+If you need remote access from anywhere, you’ll likely need a paid plan.
+== 3. Chrome Remote Desktop ==
+Why It’s Good
+Completely free, and uses your Google account to connect.
+Very straightforward to set up: just install the Chrome Remote Desktop extension.
+Good enough for basic remote support or personal use.
+Potential Downsides
+Feature set is minimal compared to TeamViewer (no chat in the app, no file transfer within the session, etc.).
+Multi-monitor support is basic: you can switch between monitors but not view both simultaneously in a single combined view.

+| **Cost**                 | $10/month   | $250/year   | $150/year   | Free                  |
+==== Key Selection Criteria ====
+. **For Day Trading:**
+   - **Parsec:** Best cost-to-performance ratio ($10/month, 80ms latency).
+   - *Use:* Competitive Mode (`Ctrl+Shift+Alt+C`) for sub-100ms.
+. **For Enterprise Trading Floors:**
+   - **Teradici:** Military-grade security + 45ms latency.
+   - *Requires:* NVIDIA/AMD GPU for PCoIP acceleration.
+. **For Webinar-Style Monitoring:**
+   - **Zoom Pro:** Easy attendee management (but locks host PC).
+. **For Self-Hosted Privacy:**
+   - **RustDesk:** Free, but needs IT setup (port forwarding/VPN).
+=== Bandwidth Optimization ===
+| Tool          | Dual 1080p (Mbps) | Dual 4K (Mbps) | Recommended ISP Upload |
+|---------------|-------------------|----------------|------------------------|
+| Parsec        | 10-15             | 20-30          | 50Mbps+                |
+| Teradici      | 8-12              | 15-25          | 30Mbps+                |
+| RustDesk      | 12-18             | 25-40          | 100Mbps+               |
+==== Implementation Guide ====
+. **Parsec Quickstart:**
+   - Texas PC: Install host app → Enable "Hosting" + "Competitive Mode".
+   - Your PC: Connect via peer ID → `Ctrl+Shift+Alt+M` to toggle monitors.
+. **Zero-Disruption Guarantee:**
+   - On Texas PC:
+     ```powershell
+     reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Parsec" /v "kvm_mode" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
+     ```
+   - *Effect:* Mirrors screens without input rights (<3% CPU load).
+=== Emergency Backup ===
+If primary tool fails:
+. Texas user shares **Screen 1 via Zoom Free**.
+. You view **Screen 2 via RustDesk direct IP**.
