[Hidden-tech] transferring a file/folder from a win 98 PC to an XP PC

[Shawn Fumo]

There may be a way to network them together, though I'll let someone
else speak on that...

What comes to mind is connecting an internal floppy drive to the 98
machine (don't actually have to mount it in a bay) or to disconnect
the hard drive and load it as a slave to the XP machine temporarily.
Neither of those is actually very difficult, but if you aren't
comfortable with opening up the machines, almost anyone that's good
with computers could probably help you out.
