Use Firewire target mode. Reboot the new machine holding down the T 
key, and it becomes a giant firewire hard drive. Cable it to the 
firewire port of the old mac and it will mount on the desktop. Use 
Carbon Copy cloner to copy your user folder over. You may also want 
to move parts of the library. You can also copy over some 
applications, or clone the apps folder. You may have to reinstall 
several of them.
