I recently did this too... getting all the files off of various friends' computers' I'd been using and getting them all onto my iBook. I tried all of the above/below, so here's my suggestions:

- If you have the desire to get a USB key or external HD (which might be good if you plan on downloading alot of music), then this would be the ideal time to get one, and the easiest way to do it (plug things in, and they should auto detect, wam bam, you're done)
- - Your local computer store may even be able to rent you a CDR or external HD for this purpose..?

- Networking will be fast and easy if you're knowledgable in networking and want to configure all of that... buuut... that ended up being alot of hassle for me (though two Macs is REALLY easy)

- If you can't get an external HD, then, imho, the easiest thing will be to email it all to yourself. Since you have a Gmail account this shouldn't be a problem.. except that Gmail only does one file at a time afaik.. so open a Zipping program on your PC (you can download a "full free trial" if need be), and create a zip with all your files. Zips can be easily opened by the Stuffit program on your new Mac =)

good luck!
