Really sucks

Ok so whats the easiest way to do it?

My old laptop doesn't have a burner on it and floppies won't hold most of the files I have. My home network has been torn down a while ago.


Aaaaaaarrrrggggghhhhhhh!

Maybe I will have to reconnect my home network again sigh

you get a new hard drive and swap that way, or send it to a network server, otherwise you are SOL.

Yeah I can do that.

I just thought about it and realized that since my old laptop has wireless NIC and my new one has it built in I can just link them that way and transfer the files the easy way:doh:

Is there a way to transfer my favorites list to the new computer without having to do all the links over again?
