[muglo] Re: iBook G3 and external Windows HD

That should work fine but it might be slow as the G3 iBooks have USB 1.1 ports 
and that may not be a problem as most Word documents are of manageable size.  I 
do this type of thing occasionally and if the files are too large to e-mail I 
burn them to CD and use the two foot network.
