EXPERT ADVICE
Transfer Save file from CD to QSYS library
John Brandt, OS/400 advice

Dear John,
I've created a Save file on the iSeries, got it to a PC (FTP), then burned it to a CD. I can see it on the iSeries' optical drive, but I can't figure out how to either get it to a QSYS library or to restore the library directly from the CD. Can you help me out?

THE MISSING LINK
Spears fishing: Britney named 'most googled'

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the most googled of them all? The honor of most-googled subject of 2003 goes to ex-newlywed Britney Spears. She beat out Harry Potter and the Matrix films and became queen of the search box. Spears was also 2003's most-requested female photographic image, so never mind the fact that there are more hate sites devoted to her than to Saddam Hussein -- evidently, the world can't live with her or without her. Google also found that Britain will take its Prince of Wales over pop's princess of wails any day. Prince Charles was the most-googled subject among his subjects last year.
