you can network the 2 together with a cat5 cable and send them that way. its much quicker. you need to enable the folder your stuff is in for sharing. and then you can do it

just go to any computer store. a cat 5 cable is just an ethernet cable

get a high capacity Jump Drive, easy to find, wal-mart for example, i always take things from other computers and put it on my laptop.

it works great, its small enough to be on your key chain, and can hold up to 1 gb, plus its waterproof and virtually indestructable.

thats a good idea too...it really depends on how much you need to transfer...if you are transferring more than a gb or 2 i would use the cat 5 method...if you are transferring less than 2 gb a jump drive would probably be less hassle...though a bit more expensive

if you have a cd burner you can burn the files on a cd then copy them to the other computer

^^^ but if you are doing a lot of files then that is a really time consuming way to do it
