Right. What type of files would you like to transfer? Simple documents can
be transfered using a floppy or flash drive, while larger can be transfered
by cd, dvd, or a transfer cable. Also, a simple network could be established
between the two. If you are looking to backup or transfer your settings to a
new computer, windows has wizards for that.
