I just purchased a new G4 Powerbook and would like to transfer some files from my ibook. What would be the best (fastest) way to do this?

Thanks for helping a newbie..

You can just hook them together with an ethernet cable, since Macs do automatic crossover. No hub or anything else required.

Thanks !

Assuming your running OSX on your iBook, you could use Target Disk mode.

Hold down the T key while you boot up the iBook. It will boot up as a firewire hard drive; the firewire symbol will apear on the screen. Connect the two with a firewire cable. The iBook drive will mount on your new Powerbook desktop. Copy the files as needed. This will be much faster if you have some really large files to copy.

great tip, thanks. I dont have a two way firewire cable but it sounds like I need to get one.
