>From Michael Smith, Palm Desert, CA - getting files from Mac [running system 7 & 8] to PC when AOL 4.0/5.0 has been cancelled: Gee all the readers here have provided GREAT responses addressing AOL's cancellation of AOL 4.0 and AOL 5.0 which still works great on old System 7 and System 8 Macs. I still need to get files FROM the PC (running VISTA) to the PowerMac7300/200 (which BTW is STILL a very useful machine - I used dozens of useful productivity programs on it including EXCEL, Word, "CAT" and more such as More "Outliner" that I use for scheduling and no program has yet been made that works as well as "MORE" ). The POwerMac has a floppy drive, the Vista PC does not. The PC has a CD drive and the POwerMac has a CD Drive. What would be convenient is if the Vista PC had a floppy drive. (My older Dell running "XP" has a floppy but it is broken). Since I need to transfer reasonably small files from the VISTA PC to the POwerMac (and used AOL previously to do that), I wish the PC had a floppy drive (this PC). Is there a way to buy an external PC drive that could be added to the Vista PC? That would solve my problem. Anyone know? I am going to look on Google as well. Have a good day. M.

That's probably what I was thinking of... I mean Mozilla/Thunderbird was basically Communicator at the beginning... ;) I remember a friend using Netscape Communicator for mail on a Quadra 950 back in the day.
