I would agree with previous posts, if you just want to transfer a few files now and again, a USB pen is a simple, low tech and cheap option. Dead easy.

If you want to network PC's and haven't done it before, get a technical angel who knows what they are doing !! and has done it before !! to help.
Networking a win98 computer can introduce security issues if the network connects to the internet.
I personally love the wireless option to bits.
No nasty wires to deal with, and I can work on my laptop anywhere in the house away from the wife and kids <grin>
It means I don't have to worry about synchronising files between various machines. I can share a broadband connection between the PC's. I can stream MP3 files to the stereo system. I can share printers.
But forget all that the single most important reason for getting a wireless system is that it provides a NAT (Network Address Translation) firewall. It hides the address of each individual computer on the network from potential intruder and hacker software.
useful for broadband and modem users.
OK so see how vunerable your PC is on the internet, run the test called Shields-Up (scroll half way down the page) You will get a good idea even though some of the information will be tech heavy.
