I assume you have a cube with either an Optical or Floppy(?).
The easiest thing is to 'ftp' to another computer on your net
at the university and "carry it home'(the disk not the net).

Here I go to one of the public NeXT computers in the library
and ftp to my OD. If you have a PC compatiable floppy, you could
use any PC (that has ftp).

Good luck,
Charlie
