If you only need to move files between your Mac and other Windows
machines on your local network you can skip the iDisk stuff and just
share directly. You have a fileserver built into your Mac which your
Windows machines can connect to. That will make your user folder on your
Mac show up as another drive on your Windows box. Take a poke at
Preferences->Sharing->Windows Sharing to turn the service on.

mistake by getting it if all I have is one Mac and the rest are
Windows machines.

Hi Vashaun,
You said: So basically I can use a Windows machine and download the
items that's on my I Disc. Is this correct? Have you tried it?
TK: Yes you sure can. I believe that there was some sort of utility
in the Software folder on the iDisk that you could use with Windows
but I didn't bother with that myself. I simply used the Add Network
Place option, entered my username and password and voila, it was
there. I think that the path was idisk.mac.com/.mac-membername but I
could be mistaken as it was quite a while ago that I used the iDisk
on a PC.
HTH.
Later...
