[muglo] Re: Chooser/Appleshare crash

Hi
Problem solved! After doing a search came upon this page
<http://www.zone6400.com/files/iTools.html> in which it is suggested that
Network Browser could be used to access the idisk - and waddaya know? It
works!

Now if only .mac allotted a longer connection time! Guess we're never
satisfied.

Thanx to all who contemplated my problem.
