Re: laptop to laptop copy???

From a speed perspective, USB 2 and Firewire are virtually indistinguishable in a single device application.

Joe, you have to get a LOT more specific about what you want to do.  The
best connection, for almost anything, is an Ethernet network, which you
can make with just a crossover cable (or you can use two "normal" cables
and a hub or switch).



If both PCs have Firewire ports, use them instead*.  Much faster and no
crossover cable required.

*Provided you have Win 98SE or Win2k or later.
