Also, in the old days we had something called Laplink to transfer files from one puter to another. The cable used to be connected to serial or parallel ports. But those ports also seem to have been taken away on new machines.

I also remember Laplink as quite a useful little gadget - about 20 years ago, or so... (I guess it dates us, Inger :) )
I just Googled it, and found that Laplink still exists, now with connection via USB ports. Check this link:

Can't vouch for the current version but, as I said, it worked great 20 years ago! Might get one for myself to simplify migration to a new Win7 computer planned for January...

N2K, just ask your questions, someone here will surely be able to answer, I guess...

Heck I remember when copying files between computers was as easy as loading your tape into your common stereo and pressing the Dup buttons. Pirating was SO EASY back then :D
Living the dream, stocking the cream :D
