I think this all goes back to discovering a USB-USB device that would allow connecting two computers with the same topology/advantages/disadvantages as an "RS232C null modem". It did not work out-of-the-box in the manner *I* expected. The ramifications pointed to voids in my expertise. I pursued further as an *EDUCATIONAL* experience. As I (being past three score and ten) have said before "If retirement isn't for education, what use is it."
I have no desire nor need for a traditional LAN. Also shoe leather express with a flash drive has actual idiosyncratic advantages.
