So, I'm back "home" at my parents'. Have been since last week when I spectacularly failed my driving test for the third time and stayed over Christmas. My internet time here is limited which is why I haven't been frequenting forums/replying to comments/blah blah as often as I normally do, not that anyone really noticed :P
Am I weird because I like setting up peoples' computers for them? My Aunt just bought a brand new laptop (*wants it! Wants it!* Mobile/wireless technology, yes please!!! *Drool*) and I delighted in setting it all up for her. Only problem is I need to transfer all the files from her old computer (our REALLY old one) which doesn't have any USB ports to her new one which doesn't have any floppy disk drives. The old 100MHz 486 (struggling with Win98, poor thing) doesn't have a CD writer, so the only way to get data off of it is using the floppy drive. Neither my laptop nor hers has a floppy drive but both have CD writers (hers even has DVD writing, lucky thing) and many USB ports. Any ideas what I can do? None of the peripheral devices (external CD-RW, USB Flash Drives) will work with the 486 (lack of USB again) and emailing stuff is not an option since she's on pay-as-you-go dial-up at 28.8 Kbps. Most of the files are too big to fit on a floppy anyway. I suppose I'll have to buy a serial-to-USB converter but meeeeh... So, help?
Pssst, it's funny - none of the computers on sale in the shop had any form of floppy drive with them. Those things are like, SO out. Like omgwtf. :P
