The Reader

Thanks, that helped a lot.

What I am trying to do is have all my word and excel documents available
from anywhere and any computer. All I need is a browser to access them.

I copied all of them to the iDisk tab when connected to the MobileMe website.
They all uploaded fine and I can see them on the web and my iPad.

My question is really, if I change file XYZ from the "my documents folder" on
my computer, will that change also be sent to the iDisk XYZ file or do I have
to drag the changed file to the MM iDisk tab like before?

Also if I change the XYZ file on my iPad, will that change be made to the file
on my computer in the "my documents folder".

I am new at cloud stuff and don't want to end up with multiple versions of the
same file and get confused.

Thanks,

Rich
