Heck, I find it more reliable to synchronize the files I need between home and work using my iPod as a medium than using the on-line disk storage I pay for. My batch update takes seconds to my iPod and always completes. The on-line update takes 5-10 minutes if it finishes at all. Sneaker-net has had quite a bit of success over the years. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
