As far as I know, there's no way of bridging the connections in the manner you describe. Your best bet would be to get a dedicated wireless-ethernet bridge unit, they're fairly inexpensive. Cheers, Ben On 2 Mar 2005, at 06:38, Orlando Mac Geek wrote: I do not know if it is possible to do this,

I think LaCie 's burner is a good choice as is the HP printer (I have one myself). For the Analog Digital converter, take a look at Miglia products. I've seen them at CompUSA, Mall, Zones, JR, even SmallDog and OWC! There's a $40 mail in rebate on the DC converter. If you don't want the full frame

Response to Bruce: Fruitmenu WILL do what Finderpop did. Think someone referred to it as 'Drilling' folders. At any rate, configure the 'fruitmenu' pane of the Fruitmenu System Preference panel to permit 'click and hold mouse to access contextual menu in finder' to whatever delay suits you.
