Re: Sony Mavica and Macintosh

I'm using a Mavica FD 83, should work just like the FD 73, just a few
more features. I buy IBM formatted discs and use them. I can put them
in a PC or my i-Mac and the pictures work just fine. I think she should
stop formatting the disc for the Mac and use a pre formatted PC (IBM) disc.

I just used my camera to photograph all my students. I printed out thumbnail
photos to put on my seating charts and made a slide show of student
faces to
show at open house. The program I'm using is called Maview by ViewPix.
But it is only for the PC.
Good luck, Woody in KC

I bet you could get all the owners manual information off the web.
