Forgive my primitive question. I would like to know what type of cable I
would need to transfer data( photos and files) from a Dell Inspirion laptop
to a home pc on a daily basis. I would like to take a laptop into the field
to do photoshoots and come home a plug into the same pc to do my editing. I'm
not intrested in wireless or transferring all the info on the hard drive,or
setting up a network at this time.Both machines are running XP. Thanks in
advance.
