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

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
