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

[Doug Wheat]

If both computers have ethernet cable ports, you should be able to transfer
the files using a crossover cable.  You can get them at Radio Shack for
about $15.  I may have one that you are welcome to borrow - if I can
identify it.  Let me know.
