I need to change my experience from intermediate to beginner. I've never had much luck using Search and keep thinking about spending some time to improve my Search skills. When I try to Search I find so much interesting stuff I usually forget what I was originally searching for! However, I decided to use Google and try to Search again. This is what I found.

It may take some time but I should be able to find what I want now.

Thanks again.

Hey that's one thing I love about the Shack, they'll take anything back wiwthout too much hassle. More info on Laplink cables here:

That last link for cablemax.com lists a parallel laplink cable for $2.95!

 

howdy folks. this is a link to the cable i use: http://www.usb-port.com/bf100c.html
mine came with the direct-linq software

 

fridgitator-Thanks for the link.

This is excellent. The BF-100C cable sounds perfect for my needs and would also work with XP.

Sounds like the USB Network Cable Model ULK-003 USB-Linq/NET Cable for only $2.95 more accomplishes the same thing plus you can connect to the internet too but it is not XP compatible.
