>A friend has just purchased a new Tibook (867 Mh/ 512). She needs to >transfer files (mostly documents and Eudora mailboxes from her old >desktop (a Powermac 6400 OS 8.6).

Any special instructions or tips? > >Thanks, Susan Rennie the Ti has an auto sending feature on the ethernet port, so no cross over cable is needed. make sure you set up a 'guest' account (control panel: file sharing) on the 6400 that has read privileges so you can copy files over. i haven't had to do this in a while, but the Ti may need to be booted first. also, make a back up, *just in case*. :") b -- * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * William Scammell Creative Director wscamel @ pop.ici.net 781-956-3548 http://www.idesignofboston.com provides graphic, advertising, and web site design services. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
