Philip, (Hopefully, I don't confuse Dean too much)Don't you need a cross-over cable to do that with older macs? Or is that a function of 10.3? I know that my g5 doesn't need a cross-over, but my g3 laptop does.
Dean, a cross-over cable is a special kind of network cable that has one end wired in reverse of the other. Older machines weren't smart enough to figure out that if you plug a regular old network cable into two machines, they could talk to each other. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Philip Aker Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 5:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Finale] Switching computers and data transfer On Saturday, Jul 3, 2004, at 21:52 America/Vancouver, Dean Estabrook wrote: > (b) If I do receive a usuable version of 2004 from Coda, how do I > transfer my old Finale files to the new I Mac?

If your old Mac has an Ethernet jack, pick up an RJ45 cable and wire the two machines together. Then, on the iMac in OS X, press <Command-K>. You should have the old Mac show up on the network and be able to double-click it to mount it. Be sure to have File Sharing turned on on the old Mac.
