or keep it fixed in to one machine via USB, then share the drive, and then you can access it via the second computer ... dont expect it to be lightning fast though

How easy is it to set it up to share with 2nd PC?

Thanks but that is extra cost for me. Just want to be able to share the external 'My Book' hard drive with another PC. As easily as possible without spending more money.
