I'd recommend simply mounting the 17" PBs hard drive on the desktop of your PowerMac (either with a crossover cable, or with both machines WIRED to a hub; wires are just so much faster than AirPort in huge file transfers) and then just browsing that HD just like you normally would, and pull any files you need onto the speicified folder on your PowerMac.

target disk mode is the fastest. If you have an iPod (not a new one), you can shut down one computer, connect the two with a firewire cable. Then boot the computer while holding down the 'T' key. The harddrive will mount on the second computer, and you can drag and drop via firewire (400Mbps). Would probably work at 800Mpbs too (firwire 800).

I agree, Firewire target disk mode is the easiest way to connect the two computers. Not sure why quadgrande mentioned an iPod, one certainly isn't necessary for what you want to do. All you need is a Firewire cable.

What you want can also be done via your airport network by turning on file sharing on one computer and acessing that computer via the Go menu on the other (in OS X). That's a little more complicated the first time you do it, than the Firewire method, but very easy once the sharing is set up.

He simply said this because if you have an older gen. iPod, then you can simply use that FireWire cable that came bundled with it rather than having to purchase a seperate one, that's all.
