Macs can handle text-only WebCat sites just file, but the Mac is far slower at serving images quickly than some other platforms.I would suggest to anyone wishing to serve their WebCat sites from a Mac to keep them on the Mac, but put the images on something else when things start to slow down. Then you'll never have to worry about the Mac not being able to keep up with the requests, which means you'll never have to worry about migrating your WebCat site to NT.For those of you who have already decided to migrate to NT, yes there are differences - but doesn't the NT version have documentation that explains the differences?>It wasn't as easy as just copying the files over (we >wished! hehe). Apperently you can't use a

Doesn't the NT docs explain this stuff? I thought I read it somewhere, like in the .pdf file ...Sincerely, Ken Grome WebDNA Solutions 808-737-6499 http://www.smithmicro.com/webdnasolutions/.
