Thanks for your help, Brian. To me this is all magic, but I have progressed
enough to add things up in my mind and when you mentioned database, I
thought that might be it. My laptop is on broadband and I could switch by
changing cords, but it is only a few more days and I shall have this great
network -- two computers, one user!!! And the airport will allow me to
really do laptopping. - Now I am wondering about my Outlook Express which
does not support OSX. Is it possible to use the OSX mailprogram with Insight
or must I run classic to obtain my mail. or physically switch to 9? I want
to get as many things squared away ahead of time as possible. So my
questions will be plentiful this coming week. And BTW, what does a Mac
Specialist do, if I may ask?
