Hi there... I've used Public Folder quite a few times, it's ok. Basically all you're really doing is eliminating the use of a floppy disk for transferring files. It's pretty easy, let's say the files you want to share are kept in the folder that you call "Public" on Mac #1 [m1] and Mac #2 [m2] what's to access that file. m2 would then go to the chooser menu and should see at least 2 icons, one for the printer and one for Public Folder, click on the latter. The rest should be straightforward, what essentially happens is that m2 copies over the file to its harddrive. So you're not really "sharing files." Personally, I didn't like using Public Folder, you then get more than one copy of a file and then have more than one person working on it. It gets pretty confusing to know which or who's got the current file. Hope this helps, Pomona Valero Carnegie Mellon University
