And, while I'm at it . . .

What I'm really trying to accomplish (see directly below) is to get all my old work files off the old PC by establishing a network with the new PC and (a) install Linux on a partition just to see if I can and (b) turn the machine over to my children so that they can play their 5+year old computer games. The games don't really work either, I think because the PC is not really able to interpret the simple graphics that these games use. So, if anyone knows where I might get the graphics update I need (is that a graphics card?) to run games designed to run on Win95 that would be a great help.
