Still worth mentioning though as a lot of old PC equipment gets sent to third 
world countries to be re-used. Plus I have a load of old kit to play around 
with, from 133mHz boards to a hole bunch of Sparc Station 5s ;-)

Try installing SAMB on the Ubuntu machine and "share" the folder(s) on the 
windoz machine in windoz. Then SAMBA should pick them up.
