    I have a router that both my computers use. I'd like to be able to move pics and files from one to the other. Is this possible and, if so, how do I go about it?

    Thanks.

    The easiest way is to open the System Preferences on your Mac and under "Internet & Network" choose "Sharing". There will be a list of services that you can enable/disable. Enable the one called "Windows Sharing", at the bottom of the window there will be text with an address to use toconnect to the machine. Type that address into Windows Explorer and log in with your username and password from your Mac and you should get a listing of your home directory.

    That sounds easy enough...I'll give it a try. Thanks.
