I want to link my PC to my mate's PC to transfer a load of MP3s so she can burn them onto CD.

Before any of you suggest..

- E-mailing. There are WAY too many, it would take an age and she's a dirty student so anything costing more than a pot-noodle that isn't alcohol based would mean the end of the world for all man-kind...or just a lot of moaning which I can't be arsed with.

- Me buying a CD-Writer.. no point, buying a new PC soon....well maybe

So, how do I link up two PCs without spending a fortune on network cards and stuff? Is there like a cable I can buy or something?

Thankyouplease

FFS is simple get one os those USB transfer devices. you can get 16, 32, 64 and 128 meg versions. Just look in special reserve mag or on the site.

no software or at least not for newer versions of windows. you plug into one compy drag and drop files stick into other compy and drago drop out. So easy.
