Good afternoon listers, This is only indirectly related to Jaws in that since the demise of WinMX I have not been able to make any of the P2P music and other file sharing programmes work for me under Jaws.
I don't propose to fill the list with this, I would prefer it if someone who is successful with one of these programmes and is willing to tutor me through the process would contact me directly. A certain amount of patience would be an asset. We prefer rocken tunes if that helps. Thanks.
