I plugged the Mac into an ethernet cable instead of using wifi, and now it’s able to find and copy the documents on my PC desktop. Huzzah!

I’m not sure what the problem is, but since I’m at the moment blundering around in the dark, I don’t expect to know what it was.

BTW, Windows doesn’t see the Mac, although the Mac sees Windows. I found a web site that gave some basic instructions. No joy yet, but still trying.

Later: It works. I have no idea why it didn’t work an hour ago and now it does. But Windows, meet Mac. Mac, meet Windows. Woohoo!

I’ve started downloading and playing. I tried Camino but it doesn’t support XUL, so there aren’t many extensions for it. So I’m installing Firefox. (I’m a big fan of mouse gestures.)

(Nit: I have to say that having on one corner from which one can manually resize a window is a bad idea. Windows does this better.) [Tags: macintosh]
