One of the teachers in my dept. has decided to give the Mac a go and is buying an ibook this weekend. I would like to be ready to help him with any problems. I know enough about OSX but I also know one of his main concerns is transferring files from his old PC to Mac. I know there is Move to Mac now but i'd rather be able to offer him a solution that didn't cost more money. Don't think his PC has firewire but it will have USB. Any thoughts?
