[iBook] The great Windows - Mac migration

[Benjamin Kennedy]

I've found Instant Messenger to be an effective way to transfer files 
between PC's and Macs. My ex used to backup to my mac that way when she 
needed to reinstall on her gateway every three months or so. For some 
it's a lot simpler to set up and get working than normal file sharing.
