Hi Glen, Well, it took me quite some time to find the toggle, but I had to use Firefox instead of my Safari 1.3.2. Must say that I'm using OS X 10.3.9 at the moment. So possibly the latest Safari will not have that problem. Whatever, I'm extremely happy with GMail. As usual the best advice is

Hi Martin, To use firewire transfer, you need to have started one one the computers in Target mode - that way it just shows up as an external firewire drive on the other machine. For the way you describe, ie to use the iMac to do the work, you need to start the e-mac in target mode. To do that,
