You still have a database running on a //gs? Geez................. Well, if you can read it on the Performa, you can copy the database to the hard drive, then use filesharing over ethernet to copy it over. Now, as for USING it when you get it over, that's another story. What program was the database done in on the //gs? You may be -very- hard pressed to find a program that'll read this database once you actually get it onto the iMac. -- Jeremy Derr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Low End Macs - G-Books "ListNanny" Any statements herein represent my opinion and do not represent those of my employer.
