"Does anyone know how I can get the ifromation from my old 'puter to my new one?"

USB flash drive (aka USB Thumb Drive) is the way to go for the above scenario.

IMHO, why spend $20 for a USB floppy disk drive that reads storage media that holds 1.44 MB when you can spend that same $20 on a flash drive that holds 2 GB? The only scenario I can even see for needing a USB floppy drive is if you need to boot to a Win98 boot disk for some reason and I am not even sure that would work.
