I did just that recently with my new powerbook to add that capacity : I went to system preferences , clicked under sharing, enabled the file sharing and the printer sharing, left the firewall on, then went to the desktop clicked on go and clicked on network , then it should show you the other computer ( needs to be open) in the network, click on that and then a window will appear asking you for your name and password and put it in, then it gives the options to click on the HD, or your home folder or your iDisk. if you have one. If you click on the home folder, it it will come on you second computer showing the same screen as on your first and you can access all your files. Marta Half the truth is often a great lie. -Benjamin Franklin, statesman, author, and inventor (1706-1790)
