Thanks Bob & Bill for your replys.

I should have known some of this already. Sounds like I can almost
follow my nose in the Windows world too (or at least a right-clicking
mouse).

I rarely ever get on a Windows Machine, so when I do it can be
bothersome. Your answers were just right.

I'm glad that Windows has come this far. I still think its is a lot
easier to get the whole picture of your disc on the Mac, but maybe I'll
get used to the other platform one day. And I for one do not mind them
becoming more and more like the Mac. The less new I have to learn the better.

Always trying to learn.

Thanks again.

Kelly

If you are looking for comparitive terminology between Windows
environment and the Mac, a good place to start is:

<http://www.iwaynet.net/~salsbury/macfix/macforpc/macforpc.html>

If anyone has more like this, I would be interested.

Heck, just a Glossary of Terms for all the different Terminology used on
this list would be nice -- cross-platform or not.

TIA (Thanks in Advance -- just in case one of you doesn't know that)

Just ran across an interesting site . . .

<http://www.macwindows.com/lismore.html>

It is a new PC Emulator for the Mac. It is supposed to have some
capabilities that the other two PC Emulators do not have . . . is still beta.

It was thought to be vaporware . . but is proving to be real.

some of the current demerits are:

Our mail server is set up to allow only <2MB file attachments per message
going in or out. There may be an account limit also but I've never
experienced it. I would imagine an mail server could be set up that way.

        Dear Dave,

        This is a function of the browser polling the Web server and
vice versa,
and is transparent to the intervening hardware... This is the "TCP" in
TCP/IP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol!

        Cheers!
