You can't share named resources (ie file sharing) between the MAC and Windoze
worlds. But you can FTP. You can get a free FTP server from any of these
websites (just search for "FTP server"):
http://www.download.com/?legacy=cnet
http://www.majorgeeks.com/search.php
http://www.tucows.com/search

Just get the FTP server of your choice, install it onto which ever computer (Mac
or Windoze) suits you, set it to share the folder with the recipes. Go to the
other computer, ftp to the first, upload or download recipes as desired. Have
fun.

Cheers,
Chuck
Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
