[QUOTE="scathe, post: 814157, member: 81672"] I'd go with a network, either hook them up to a same router (with cable, wifi is slower) or connect the two computers with a crossed-over ethernet cable but some people don't like the aspect of network since it can take some hassle to set up :D the advantage here is that you can copy quickly and large amounts at once so, if you don't have a network available or don't want to set it up, go with the usb flash drive or external hard disk time machine doesn't seem like the right solution to copy files, you have a clean system - keep it that way :) [/QUOTE]
