[Hidden-tech] Got my PC today. How do I get it exchanging files with the Mac?

[RA Cohen]

Shel, make sure to completely remove McAfee - many times the Apps or 
Control Panel uninstall won't remove it completely and you need to go to 
McAfee's site to get special removal tool(s).

A complete pia. McAfee for years has been a terrible conglomeration of 
programs, right down to its uninstall difficulties.
