I need to find a way to transfer all of my old documents off of my laptop with minimal frustration.
Really, I don't even want all of them. Some of those files can fester and turn purple and die and I won't care, but there are various mutations of manuscript drafts I'd like to get off.
No, I did not buy the super-deluxe file transfer kit when I bought the new computer. I figured it would just be some special USB cord and I wasn't getting snooked by that.
I have a few other logistic problems, as well...for example, I don't have any more outlets to plug shit in. As it is, I have to unplug my speakers to print things. My power strip is pretty big, it's just that the width of a couple of the plugs causes two otherwise free outlets to be blocked.
Shh! I need to figure this out.

I've plugged it into a Mac, a Win2000 and an XP machine, and it's worked like a charm every time. You need to be careful about dismounting it, or you can screw up your data, though.
I've seen 256MB drives selling for less than $20. I dunno if they'll work through a serial port/USB adapter, though, if you don't have USB on both machines.
