RE: [PCTECH] Backup data from a laptop

I cannot strongly enough try to persuade you NOT to install ME. It is a 
crippled version of 98, IMHO. If you want to get off 98, go to 2000 Pro, 
especially if the hardware is a little old. XP cannot use some old hardware.

Are there network connections on this laptop? If not, serial ones? You 
could get a serial datalink cable and transfer directly between 2 machines.

USB is not the best, IMO, with 98, certainly unless you have 98SE, which is 
better. It may not even be an option without 98SE.

Maybe someone has an external parallel port ZIP drive? Or USB is nothing 
else? At least 100meg per ZIP disk.
