Just want to share some of the stuff I find useful at work and/or at home.

The Crossbox allows you to copy data between two machine without having to deal with changing/configgin' any network settings. Works w/ both MAC and PC.

Yes, there are other ways to do this ( wired network, crossover cable, wifi, IR, flash drive, external HDD, other similiar products etc.) I just have used this particular device for a few years, and have found this little guy to be solid. A 8 GB Flash drive can do the same job, but takes twice the time (copy from PC1 to drive, then from drive to PC2). It's better then a flash drive because no "sensitave data" is being stored remotely, only being transferred. ( it'salso is a good conversation piece during the copying process - good BS chit-chat w/ the customer)

Interesting, if I search on Amazon, I only seem to find the older (non-Mac compatible version) but I can find the newer one via the link above...

Oooooooooooo, I want I want I want!

I've got a Laplink USB data cable. I never use it because the transfer rate is so slow compared to a network connection.

I agree 100% - This isn't the fasted way to transfer data...I used the Crossbox during the past few years when there either was no network, or I didn't want to touch their existing settings with a ten foot pole...or when I was copying sensitive data...(no flash drive use allowed)


It serves its purpose.
