The jump drive is nice but then so is a USB hard drive. I got mine on sale for $75 or so for a 250 gig unit and its my backup for many things.

Also not sure that everyone is speaking the same language here on cables. A network cable is one that is used to connect a computer to a hub or switch, but not directly from one computer to another.

A "crossover" network cable is one that is designed to connect two computers directly to each other, with nothing inbetween. It will be labeled as a "crossover" cable, while a normal cable normally is not labeled. Using a standard network cable will not work without a hub or switch inbetween.
