A usb card reader is your best bet.  you may also want to consider just 
transfering the folder to your mac and leaving it there for safe keeping 
incase a program fouls and you need it to reinstall it after you've cleaned 
up the mess.  If you can get a portable drive to go along with your Macbook, 
it would be helpful for this and other things but there is plenty of room on 
the hd.

Subject: Question about loading downloaded programs onto Mac and a 
questionabout the Mac Book?


Hi,
Last night and today I spent time looking up programs I want on my Mac, when 
I get it.

I found loads of programs on the VO compadable programs list, plus a few fun 
ones, screen savers and the talking moose program for example...

I've got them all downloaded to this windows computer in a folder called Mac 
Software.

My question is...

When I get my Mac, can I just burn a CD with the programs on it as like a 
data CD and run it on the Mac?

I think it would work because I'd just be putting the dmg and zip things on 
a CD and don't see why the Mac would care what sort of computer burrned it, 
but I don't know.

If anyone knows the answer to this that would be wonderful.

Also while I'm thinking about it...

The current version of the Mac Book.  Does it have a built in card reader or 
do you have to get that on the side?  Either way I could transfer the 
programs to the little storage card and put it all on like that.  But.  I 
kind of like the idea of having a CD so if I need to reinstall the programs 
again I'll be able too in a way I'm used to.

Okay that's all for now.  Any help is most welcome and thank you for your 
help
Have a lovely weekend!
