Several options-- Get a SCSI CD burner, hook it up to the performa and burn a couple of CDs to transfer to your G4. Email the files to yourself. If you alread have more than one account that's easy enough to do (although tedious at less than broadband). If not, get a temp account from Yahoo or hotmail. If you have .Mac, put files into your .Mac back up space from the Performa and retrieve from the G4. (a variant of emailing yourself) Does the Performa have ethernet? If so, lash the two together via Ethernet and use filesharing to move the data. Purchase/acquire a firewire external hard drive case and take the hard drive out of the Performa and put it into the firewire case and hook it to your G4. Good luck. bevon "Ay, in the very temple of delight veil'd melancholy has her sovran shrine" --Keats ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
