Yes,
I realised the slowness of the parallel cable when I bought it. There are
eveidently faster types of parallel cable. However the one I bought was only
$20 Aus and for a 'once every now and again' situation added cost vs short
time wasn't a real problem.
Networking is definitely out for myself. Its one of the main reasons I
bought a second computer; to have one not connected to the net; via
netwoking or otherwise. Also, I've only had a computer for a little over 3
years, and I hate 'computer problems' such as what come with networking and
viruses. My offline machine runs like a dream! There is enough to learn with
trying to make a 'trading buck' let alone trying to learn the gizzards of
computing. But guess they go hand in hand abit. I just shy away from whats
not looking to be really necessary.
Firewire compatibility will be a big step forward for Norton Ghost, which
from what I could make out is not supported in version 2001. But when the
little plastic cases to hold external HD's come down to a reasonable price
then Firewire to an external HD via Ghost will be great.
Regards
Jon
