<< For natural reasons is my experience of AOL none, but if you have separate e-mail accounts to each computer it should be possible, if AOL allowes, to send from one computer to another, from new to old or from old to new by sending e-mail to the other computers e-mail account. As it's zipped files you send over you have to have a program on the target computer to unzipp them. Unless you can not access and read the harddrive at all. >> ===== In theory, you're correct. I can send email back and forth between my accounts and I can send email to myself. In practice, it won't work. AOL versions 7.0 and 5.0 will not recognize each other. An email created using 7.0 cannot be read by 5.0 When I said ZIP files, I didn't mean "zipped" -- I meant the Iomega ZIP drive, which holds either 100MB or 250MB on each disk. A floppy, as you know, only holds 1.44MB If my daughter had a ZIP drive in her laptop I could have copied my files and sent them to myself to be opened and read by my old computer -- but she doesn't. The other option is to copy/paste the files from my ZIP to my floppy, then transfer them on her floppy to her laptop, then send them to myself ... only the files in question are almost 37MB in size, and we don't have that many floppy's... Only 5 more days to go, and I can go buy the disk I need to upgrade to WIN98, 2nd edition. Then I can upgrade to 7.0. The only problem is, I haven't done an issue since the 4th of July ... and the guilt is terrible. I keep getting email from subscribers ... "when are you going to send another issue", "we miss you", etc., etc. It's hell, sometimes, to be so popular! ;) ___________________________________________________________ Check out http://clik.to/sf for other lists to join.
