The Help Center can describe (and even walk you through, thanks to AppleScript) setting up filesharing between the two computers. Basically, though, turn on File Sharing (in teh File Sharing control panel) on the Rev B iMac. then, on the Flat-panel, go to the "Go" menu and choose Connect to Server. Select the other iMac, supply name and password, and it should then mount on the desktop. FWIW, with most (all?) recent Apple products, you no longer have to use a cross over cable to do this; they 'autosense' what they're connecting to and automatically cross over. :) I do this between my PowerBook G4 and my PowerMac G4 all the time. -- Jeremy Derr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> \ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
