The original question was supposed to be "What is the difference between airport and Go To Server via your modem" Have just tried that and failed miserably. Because I have new desktop, I need to move applications and files from the old to the new without moving the lot, as I wish to cull a fair bit. Re: the iPad, I use Filemaker Pro a fair bit on the desktop and the iPad and moving new records from the iPad to the desktop is a bit messy.... Save to/open/find the new records/then use import..... I had a look at airport this morning and it looked a lot easier, but before racing off and spending hundred bucks or so, I thought I'd ask wamugs opinion.
