Hello guys and guyesses,
I use a Mac Mini as my main computer but my wife insists on using a Windows PC running W7. I also have a laptop that dual boots into either Windows XP sp3 or Ubuntu. There is also a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet. All of these devices can browse the www. do e-mails and any other task to do with the internet (Am I giving too much info here?)
Anyway, what I want to do is make it possible for either of us to view and work with files on any of the other computers. Maybe watch a film on the laptop when the actual file of the film is on my Mac or edit a Word doc and save to the original computer.
Is such a thing possible and, if it is, could some kind soul please explain how it is done. Just imagine that you are talking to the village idiot and that will set the right level of expertise.
Cheers,
Steve.
