Hi Sir Troth. I just bought a Burner , a LG CD-RW / DVD - ROM Drive. External . On special, was $359, got it for $259. Is that cheap up there ? I call it expensive down here. :-))) ----- Original Message ----- From: "~OoO~" <SirTroth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 10:09 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Transfering data from old computer to new > So many ways to approach this... > If you have a burner, maybe you can connect the burner to the ME computer and put everything on CD?!?!?!
