What would be the best way to transfer files from one computer to another? I have a 250Mb USB Zip drive. While i only want to transfer a limited amout of data(600 Mp3's, Java source, and maybe my Borland JBuilder) i dont want to have to copy anything. How could i go about doing this?
Do they have net-cards...
get urself another hdd and transfer through that
I thought about getting an external Lacie hard drive and mirroring the hd on my gateway to transfer the data to the new comp i want to get. But now im not too sure i can afford a new computer so i might just get another hard drive to put in my gate way. But what is the best way to migrate data from one computer to another if i do decide to purchase another computer?
Why not get an external USB 120gb HDD drive only $529 australian. Uses a USB2 port which does 400mb/s or something like that.
Or just get an smaller HDD and a Mass Storage Enclosure.
40gb = $189 aussie
Enclosure USB2.0 and Friewwire = $193 aussie.

How could you use the word "only" in there?? :pQuote:

It would be better to get two LAN cards, a bit of UTP cabling, and to just copy the files over to the other PC.
Total cost should come to about:
LAN cards: 2 x $20
Wire: $3
= $43. ONLY.
(that's US$, I don't know what that would be in AUS$)
or Euros... or Marks... or Kroners..
Deutschland = Germany, correct?
AUS$ are of less value than CAD$. I think that would be about 90 AUS$...
Beacon only $529. :p yeah i think that would be the way to go for me. Ill have to look on cdw for one. Any recommendations as the what brand and type to purchase? I was looking at the Lacies.
Yes Deutschland = Germany. Im from the states though. You guys should know this. Ive only been here since oct 99. :D
i was persuming he wanted a hdd.
It's about $300 US.

Do they have all the latest computer hw and sw there? Or is it more 'deutsch' oriented?Quote:
