   If you, or other people in your organization (assuming this is a business
machine), have to do this frequently, you should get LapLink or a similar
product.  We use it all the time at one of our clients' sites where PC
juggling is a very common affair.  One hint, though:  don't just transfer
_everything_ over, because you may screw up DOS in doing so.
