I just inserted a floppy disk into the drive to see what would happen. A white drive icon appeared when I put the disk in the drive. There were 3 jpegs saved on it and they appeared as one jpeg separate from the other two and 2 of them in a blue folder. The separate jpeg wouldn't open and the two in the folder opened after a rainbow-colored disk spun for about a minute. A white drive icon appeared when I put the disk in the drive. So I'm sort of installed? Does it generally take a while for a simple jpeg to load? i haven't tried my DreamWeaver html file yet because I'm afraid to lose it and I'm not sure whether I have to delete the disk image now and consider this set up or whether I need to do something more. Hmm? TIA Donald On Sunday, December 1, 2002, at 04:06 PM, Donald Keenan wrote:
