But if you only need to transfer files occasionally, there are plenty of free, slightly less convenient ways to do it. Personally, when I want to send a file (or folder full of files) between the computers on my network, I just use the file transfer features built into AOL Instant Messenger. I do this even between Macs, because having the OS's File Sharing feature turned on really seems to slow down the computers, and I'm usually signed on to AIM anyway. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
