There is still quite some stuff, especially email, old Outlook Express 5.0. Now how can I transfer files to my other comp, a highly modern notebook. Would serial to serial work with some freeware (used laplink in the past, do not have it now). How do I achieve it? Did not find the possibility to export .pst files from Outlook express 5.0. It says MAPI error then. Thanks for your thoughts, Johan	hotkiwi (6379)

Then format it and you've got a portable USB disk. If you want to sell the laptop, it might be worth buying the enclosure anyway ..., I've seen them for as little as $29. Depends on how many megabytes you want to transfer.	Graham L (2)

It is just that my wireless network does not see individual computers, although they all are nicely working..... even with firewalls off they do not see each other.....weird...	hotkiwi (6379)
