Hey guys,

I've got my computer and my brothers computer and I want to move a whole bunch of files to his computer without having to use a million disks or wasting CD's, is there anyway to just USB them together or something:D

BTW, my computer is using Win XP and his is using Win 98, incase that matters

Thanks

Do you have a 10/100 network cards in the computers? just hook a 10/100 cable between them.

that cable will need to be a crossover cable... or you will need a hub as well :)

Or if you are ghetto like me you can just cut the wires and tape them back together in crossover formation :)

or pull his drive and slave it in your system. Would probably be faster and all you need is a screwdriver ;)

actually, that is exactly what I was trying to say that I wanted to avoid in my original post because I already have all of my hard drive ports filled and don't really feel like switching them back and forth
