Macho computer moment: Eliz got her PC back from repairs at work, but we had to install ATT Worldnet on it. The plan was to download the Worldnet.exe onto the iBook, transfer it via ethernet to the Quadra, which has a zip drive, then copy it via zip to the PC. But the monitor on the Quadra, which we haven't used in awhile, was fried. I have another monitor, but couldn't find the right cable. I was about to give up when I saw the PC had a USB connection, so I copied the worldnet.exe onto the smart card of the digital camera (!), plugged the digital camera into the PC, and Windows XP was kind enough to recognize it! The installer ran fine, and Eliz is ready to test it as soon as I sign off here.
