I guess I would have to say it's a geek thing. I know next to nothing about Macs and this is a fun thing to learn. I do have a web page living on my ISP's server. I don't know anything about Mac.com or Cnet. I'll look into it and see what that is all about. My little brother gave me my first Mac (a Color Classic). He is a Mac nut. I did a screen mod to it so it will display 640 X 480 and rolled in a logic card from a Performa 575. Then I installed a full 68040 processor and 128MBs of RAM and OS 8.1. I want to get Web Sharing up and running on it, then drop him some email and have him www into it. Everybody needs a hobby! <g> Thanks for all your good information. I am starting to understand a little more about this each day. jack in portland oregon -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
