balloonman, my interpretation of FIDO's message is *not* the same as yours. It has to do with where the file actually resides, not the computer. I have a notebook, too, and a stationary (minitower) at work and home. If I want to transfer a 10 MB (or 1.45 MB) file between either desktop and the "highly portable" laptop, I can either:
(1) pull the minitower out from under the desk, disconnect the printer, attach a PP cable to allow me to transfer files with PCAnywhere (or another program), run the program on both boxes, and transfer the file, reconnect printer, push box back under desk (and I'd better be careful to do it slowly so as to not screw up the HD), or
(2) pop a Zip disk into computer A (say, the laptop), copy file, pop the Zip disk into the FRONT of computer B (minitower), copy file over.
I like option 2.
