-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Transfering to new PC (2) Questions...

Pen (thumb) drives are way too slow (I have one -- smile) --  
they are fine for  transferring file folders a few at a time. 
The cable I am talking about took me less than two hours to 
transfer 5 years of data and the old programs I wanted on this 
new machine.

Yes I wiped the programs off the old machine because my 
Grandsons did not need them to play their educational software 
so no laws were broken.

Even if the old computer only has a serial port, the small 
adapter I was talking about will work because it  can be put  on 
one end of the Bafo cable to convert it from USB to serial.

You could use a crossover Cat5 cable, or Judith's suggestion for 
USB
cable (assuming old pc has USB ports).  Or a USB thumb drive is 
always
handy for transferring files..
