With PCs becoming cheaper and cheaper, it’s not very rare anymore to see a home with 2 or more PCs. While having two PCs can be nice with a large family, it can also be a pain. There might be a file larger than 1.38MB that you want to put on one computer, that is on another. Being it’s larger to fit on a
floppy disk, you’ll have to either split it up, or invest in a ZIP drive, or CD-R. Also, if you want to chare your Dial up, or Cable internet connection, it’s impossible to do with floppy disk. The only thing you can do, is Build your own Home Network. To start your home network, the first thing you’ll have to do is pick up a Network Interface Card for each PC.
