When I had my old pc I used Pc Anywhere on my laptop when I traveled. Do you know of other programs I can use or is this the best one to communicate with my home computer when gone

There are several ways to remote back to your apple computer at home. Perhaps the easiest is mobileme. It’s $99 per year and you’d need to have both the router at your home and the router you are connected to while you are away set to UPNP. That allows the service called “Back to my Mac” to function. You can share the screen and move files as well.
Another solution is LogMein. There’s a free version that works fine. I find it to be a little clunky personally but you get what you pay for.
Then there’s the more full featured software like GoToMyPC by the good folks at Cisco. It’s more costly but works well. You could also try it free for 30 dyas.
I would start with LogMeIn and see if that does what you need.
