The biggest problem you have is installing TMG on your laptop. You have
several choices:

1. Backup you TMG folder to floppies and restore on your laptop,
assuming both have the same version of WIN. Cheapest but most
difficult.

2. Buy TMG on floppy form WG. I don't know if they will sell you a
floppy version at a reduced price.

3. THe laplink cable.

4. Buy an external CD-ROM drive for the laptop. I think this is the
best solution as you can use it to install other programs, read CDs that
you amy find on trips, etc.

As said, transferring you data via backups is easy.
