Hi Roger.
Yes, I got a tutorial that sounded quite straight forward, in the since that
you gave each computer a unique name and made sure both shared a same group
name, but then everything got very complicated when you started of moving
files back again from on computer to another. The guy who was doing the
tutorial ended up creating names like, drive so, up, w, r, etc etc and I
could see me getting really confused. This is why I was thinking of a
simple attachment from one computer to another, then using the Network Setup
Wizard, but then I think you need to tell your Anti-Virus systems to allow
or disallow. All very confusing.
I was thinking of an external drive and believe that these are getting both
more reliable and cheaper and I may talk this option over tomorrow when I
visit PC World.
Your option of having a 2 gig Pen Drive sounds my sort of thing also, though
I can get 4 gb on a DVD. More work burning but far less expensive.
There is also the new double sided and double layered DVD's which can hold
17 GB, but then these take some considerable time to burn and are probably a
lot more expensive and I'm not sure in my version of Easy CD Creator would
handle them.
So how much did you pay for your drive?
I've got about 400 AD mp3 movies and 600 albums to move over, so the larger
the drive the better.
Best wishes.
Andy
