ok, my father has all of his busness on a Windows 95 Acer. It has 2 usb ports that do not recognize flash drives, no writable cd drive, a phone modem internet connection, and a floppy drive. Is there an alternate way to transport about 5-10 MB of info off of the computer onto another that i may not know of, or something ?

yank the HD, throw it in a cheap usb enclosure.

you can put it back if need be or just reformat it when you're done and use it for external storage.

the computer has aol 3.0 and not enough hd space to install another aol.

sent it via e-mail attachment , maby i'll try again.

and when i try to send it to a floppy it just says "insufficient space" so it seems like i have to fit it onto just one piece of hard ware.
