New computer (finally)

I am about to purchase a new computer, how would I
transfer files from my old one (running win98) to my new
one, anyone have any insight?? The files are mp3's and
that sort of thing, thanks!!

You could ghost and upgrade, or you could do a point-to-point link to move
just the files, or you could set up a small network to move or access the
files.

I assume that your new computer has Windows XP. Windows XP has a
built-in FAST (File and Settings Transfer) Wizard that can transfer
files and much more from the old computer to the new one: Internet
Explorer favorites, desktop icons, E-mail account settings and
messages, etc.

The best way to use FAST is over an Ethernet connection between the
two computers.
