nospam@nospam.invalid, would you identify yourself?  I for one would 
like you to tell all of us, or at least me how the  AirDrop software 
works and what it does.  	'm nt an Apple user, so I would like to 
know and if I can attach a real name to your explanation, it will 
carry some credibility.

Thank you,
John Carter
