>Subject: [PCBUILD] Transfer of data
>
If you have a Zip drive or a CD-RW in your old computer, and one or the other in your new computer, just copy the data to zip disks or  CD(s), which you can then put in your new computer to copy the data from. If you don't have either of those, and your computers both have network interface cards, you can network them to each other and copy data from one to the other, but from the sounds of your posting, this latter may be too complex. There are some programs that will transfer data, and even programs, but the cheapest of those I've ever seen is $39.99.  Lacking all of the above, the next best way is going to be what the other guy suggested, use the drive from your old computer as a slave in your new computer.
