I have documents and stuff I want to transfer to the new machine.
If your new machine has Win Me or 98SE you should be able to connect it to the old one using a serial cable. Within the Accessories you should have an option to connect two PCs together - I can't remember the exact wording used but it should be fairly obvios and probably located within the communications subfolder (I use Win2000 which has the same facility but is accessed by a different method). Once you're in it you can choosed which PC should be the host and which the guest - the instructions are fairly straight forward. The result will be that you'll be able to transfer any data between the two pcs at great speed.
Or consider getting a zip drive...piece a cake to install and super fast at backing up (and it won't cost and arm and a leg).
Also, how do I transfer my Internet bookmarks and e-mail address books to the new machine?
Search for a folder called 'favorites' and copy it accross (or e-mail it to yourself as suggested above)
address book: assuming you use Outlook, if you do a search for address*, you should find a file with the icon of an opened book - and probably called 'address book' unless you changed the default setting when you installed/configured your e-mail program.
Thanks for any and all expert advise, computers and I are like cats and dogs..
...like me and turbulence
Cheers
