"no" on the 'phone cord, although you may be able to make a home network using cross-over cable. More technical regulars on this forum can help here. In the meantime, you might try 1) copying your laptop files onto a CD and moving the CD to the desktop; 2) there's also using zip disks (that would require a zip drive, available as external w/USB connection for <$50), and/or 3) you might also try file compression, zipping the full file into a lesser sized *.zip. Hope this is helpful to you. L On Sunday, December 14, 2003 at 8:40 am, stan wolkins wrote: >I would like to know how to copy software from a laptop to my desktop. Files are >to big to use a floppy.
