Apparently if you want to get your data out of an Apple thingy the preferred way to go is to transfer all the data halfway around the world then back to your other device that is literally 10cm apart from your Apple thingy.

The other option is to download 160 3.5" floppy disks worth of software (about 2x the size of the recommended disk space of Windows 95) because somehow getting data out of the Apple thingy over conductive wires requires this much software magic.
