It seems pretty simple to me. After you use Yarn, back up any file in
\news or \home that has the archive bit set. Pack the backup around with
you, and restore it before you run yarn on the other machine.
The number of files that will change will vary depending on what you
are doing, with inbox and news.dat being the big ones, but you have
history files, supersed files, newsrc, and a bunch of others to deal
with. This could get cumbersome with floppies, but a tape drive
or stiffy disk would make it quick and easy.
Most laptops also come with a file syncing program. My wife uses a
Sharp 3041 that came with windows based file syncing that will run over
a direct serial connection. It may support modem or ethernet too, I
forget.
