Getting completely OT - but my solution to this kind of thing is to use an Usbee - at least, that's one of the brands available in the UK, there are others in North America. It's a tiny (smaller than a cigarette lighter) thing, it plugs into the USB port, & doesn't need any software unless you're using Win98, in which case you download the necessary driver from their website. Data is read from & written to the Usbee at about the same speed as a hard disk. I bought it out of curiosity, but it's terrific - tiny, fast, fairly inexpensive, & easy to use. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who regularly moves files from one computer to another :-) -- Deborah who has no financial interest in this product :-) ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
