Jonathan , this is a marvellous thing. I have this friend, new to DSL and she has this PC. So maybe we can make use of this file sharing experience. I am hoping to learn how to open a PC, just to help her along. Maybe i should buy her a Mac, but I am in the playing field for this iBook, so the finances are stressed. Anyway, when the time comes. I shall make use of your expertise. Marta
