And see all the menu buttons up on top, the graphical interface. And there it is, share files. You can do it just directly from the main interface, send a file or photo. And we're going to look for a file to send. And let's go into pictures and let's send our friend one of the nice sample pictures, we've sent it and we're waiting for our buddy to accept. You can cancel it at any time by hitting alt plus the Q key, and our buddy has accepted it and because we've gotten the transfer bar, and it'll show us the current time left or the file size left to send.
