web report

[Guest guest]

Okay, so with Zola's aid and encouragement, I managed to download a

zipper at work and zip up all my web files so I could send them to

myself at home. And I did send them to myself at home. But they did

not reach me, because it turns out the U automatically kills all

messages with zipped attachments.

:-(

That was yesterday. Today I called the store where I bought the iBook

to ask what item I should buy if I want to copy all my (almost 8 MB)

web files off a PC and put them into the iBook. That meant talking to

two different people, one of whom knows Macs and the other of whom

knows PCs. Neither of them knows me, which means the conversation was

convoluted and mostly unhelpful.

Finally I figured out (they didn't make it easy!) that the plan would

work only if the PC at work has a " CD burner. " I managed to catch our

computer person on the fly (we're all very busy right now, because

the new quarter begins on Monday) and ask him whether " my " computer

(the one in my office) has that capacity. He examined it briefly and

said, No, did I want it to? I said yes, and he said he would " add it

to his list " of things to check into within the next few weeks

(unless he forgets, which would not be surprising). He didn't ask why

I want it, though that question may arise when it comes time to

justify the expense.

So...I guess I'm " on hold " now, waiting to find out whether I'm going

to get a " CD burner " at work.

The only other thing I've been able to come up with is: Go to my

office on a weekend and send myself all the separate web page files

as regular email attachments. Lots and lots and lots of separate,

regular email attachments. Would that work? If it didn't overwhelm my

ISP's server?
