| 512413 | 2007-01-03 21:37:00 | I only suggested it because she prevously/currently has a Mac. If she was transfering from Win95 or 3.0 to XP I wouldn't have suggested it. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 512414 | 2007-01-03 21:53:00 | What about pursuing the ethernet connection option? Cheers Billy 8-{) That would work, she would need to set up a share folder on the PC since OS9 uses Apple talk rather than TCP/IP |

| 512415 | 2007-01-03 21:56:00 | The Mac should have ethernet. 10 base/T | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 512416 | 2007-01-03 22:05:00 | Macvangelism strikes again. :waughh: Why would you offer irrelevant (and expensive) advice like that when the original post makes it quite clear she has a PC now? Correct. As much as she loves her Mac :illogical , it will definitely be retired and WinXP will take over. BTW, she has little $$ to spend on computers, even $50 is a lot for her. |

| 512417 | 2007-01-03 22:08:00 | The Mac should have ethernet. 10 base/T OK so what does this mean exactly? If I have to buy a special ethernet cable then this will not be an option. I do have a cable (ethernet?) that connects my wife's laptop to the broadband router next to my desktop - would this work? But my experience of :horrified networking :annoyed: computers tells me that this option may be too complicated. |

| 512418 | 2007-01-03 22:18:00 | Correct. As much as she loves her Mac :illogical , Only illogical to someone who has never used one, but yes definitely in need of being retired. which model is it do you know? she has little $$ to spend on computers, even $50 is a lot for her. I assume that she is a student? I wish her luck with her studies. MS office works on both PC and Mac. What apps does she use? She will no longer be virus free (sad) without assisance. |

I do have a cable (ethernet?) that connects my wife's laptop to the broadband router next to my desktop - would this work? Yes it just means that she has ethernet and that she can/should be able to hook her Mac up to the network although I would suggest either checking with Maccrazy(PM) who may be more capable than me or giving Magnum Mac a call since they should have more experince than me. Apple uses Apple talk on systems OS9 and earlier which is a bit fiddly with PC networks but not impossible hence why they changed to TCP/IP (standard networking protocols) with OS X Magnum Mac should be able to help you for free with any luck. But my experience of :horrified networking :annoyed: computers tells me that this option may be too complicated. Mac networking is generally much easier than PC networking. |
