If you don't want to physically connect the computers together, you have a couple of options.

1. PKZip, or WinZip, you can span large files across multiple disks
2. ZIP or LS120 drives. With an external drive, you can transfer files up to 250MB.
3. Multi-media cards and readers. With Smart Media, you can transfer files up to 128MB. With Compact Flash, you can have 1GB cards.
USB connection readers cost around $25.
4. CD-RW drives. You can write up to 600MB on a CD-RW disk, and readit on any PC with a compatable drive and UDF reader software.
