Hi, I want to thank all on the list that responded to my question about transferring files with DropBox. I will certainly install it on the new computer and log in and start the ball rolling. I could use a flash disk as Al suggested, but plugging and unplugging the device can sometime get to be a pain. Again, thanks for all. Take care.
