Quick computer question.

I just bought my Laptop a few days ago and was wondering if it's possible to hook it to my desktop via USB, and transfer files between them? If not I'll get a jump drive. Thanks in advance.

O yea, Mornin' all, happy Monday

If it is an Apple, for sure.

If it is a PC, I think USB network may be possibly, depends on the motherboard though I think..

I'd go wireless.
In fact, I do go wireless. I'm in my recliner with my laptop right now, while my PC is in my study providing the internet connection.
