I just use a serial cable from PC to Laptop and create a share then copy the
files over. It is really not that difficult.
Another idea is to buy an external HD and hook it directly to your desktops
then transfer the files to the external HD.
The externals have really come down in price.
Of course, this is just my own methods.
