Re: [PLUG] Large data transfer

["K.S. Bhaskar" <bhaskar@bhaskars.com>]

Do you have, or can you borrow or buy, a USB hard drive?  I picked up
a 160GB USB hard drive at an office supply store for around $80 on
clearance some months ago.

If the two computers are close together, nothing beats a crossover
cable with something like scp3 on Windows.
