They won't. As it is now, I only use my XP machine for my Greek lessons and browsing Hellenic sites. The lesson files I make are very small and I can't read them on the Mac side anyway. As I said, I want to put the music I find in Leopard with all the other stuff, so even that won't take up too much room because if anything, it'll be on XP only temporarily. However, I might, want to convert some cds to mp3s with Free CD to MP3 Converter because I'm not sure if there's a free Mac equivalent. Then again, I could do that on my desktop and just upload the files and pick them up with Leopard. All things to ponder.
