Yes, as many as desired, but none of them say, "Harry's MacBook Air",
or have any other reference to
'Harry'.


My task of the moment is getting my wife's Windoze computer to have our
server show up as a shared device or device, like it does on our macs.
So far I haven't figured out which rosetta stone I need to do this.


I did it but don't ask me how. Not on a "server" but I can share files
between the Mac and the Windows laptops via our home network.

Took a while to get it working and I've forgotten all the steps.


I might have found the answer but fiddling around with Windoze gave me a
headache, it's so damned obtuse. I'll try again later. I would have
gotten her a Mac a couple of years ago, but she uses Windoze computers
at work and didn't want to bother learning a new computer. I don't blame
her.


It took me a while but it had to do with setting up the file sharing
settings on the Windows computers. By default they don't allow file
sharing.
