Reading disks is about the same, given that my PC is 333MHz processor speed, about twice the speed of her laptop (but processor speed probably has nothing to do with floppy save times). Never managed to resolve this, saving from Windows to floppy (e.g. copying files) seems to take roughly the same time on both machines. It's almost as though files are being saved byte by byte on my PC rather than as one file.
Regarding the backup issue, could you attach either a zip drive or a removable drive caddy to backup to a second hard drive? -- Dilwyn Jones
