Hi
 I'm starting to have what I call linkage machines. I have
a lap top with a CDROM drive that I tranfer stuff to a desk top
with CROM and floppies. From the floppy, I go to an older lap top
to send serial to my older machines. I expect someday I'll have
a DVD writer to talk to a machine that only uses DVD's.
 It is the weakest chain linking but what else to do?
