This sounds very easy! :-}
My GF has two PCs that I will be connecting to my LAN at some point in the
future, as we will be getting married. I am sort of looking for info on file
sharing and so on between PCs and Macs for that reason.
So at this point what versions of AIM are suitable for a Quadra 610? Also is
there a version of AIM that will run and do file transfering on a Mac
IIcx/Mac IIci? How about the PCs older Pentiums, with Windows 98?
