text: You could use a crossover cable if both pc's have ethernet cards.  Join them in a Mircosoft network.  This word require both to be working at the same time, but you can boot one, unplus the monitor and keyboard and hook it up to the other.  This is hard to do if you have never done it before.\nOther method which only need sequencial (not concurrent) computer use:\nOne product that I have used sucessfully is Norton's Ghost.  This is especially good if the new computer has a blank hard drive.\nAnother method is to use a cd writer from the old machine to copy the file to a CD-rom which can then be read on the new pc.\nFinally and external hard drive (or less expensively, a flash drive) could be used to copy the files.\nData files are easier to transfer than programs (which usually have to be installed on the new computer).
