If you're downloading on a Mac and want to transfer to the GS, you
should network them. It's the easiest way. If it's an older Mac with
serial ports, all you need is a printer cable between the two. (My setup
has an iMac as the main machine, so I run LocalTalk Bridge on an
intermediate Mac to link to the GS.)
