Dan3, Re: "Get 2 $20 network cards and a crossover cable. Install windows networking off the CD that came with the computer - if it isn't already installed.

Plug the cards into the PC and the cable into the cards.

You're done. Cost: Less than $50 dollars. Speed 10 or 100 mbit/sec."

You are describing situation that MOST end users do not
know how to handle.

Even assuming that they know the procedures mentioned, where
do they find those personal files which Microsoft usually conventiently put under some funny name directory. How about the IE5/Netscape bookmarks ? Or may be the outlook express mail file and address book. Or may be all those lovely shortcuts on the desktops ?

Upgrading to a new computer is a mess even for Pros. I wish Microsoft will make it easier in the future but I doubt.
