I emailed the files to myself and opened them on the new machine when I
migrated. But I also considered the zip drive solution, taking the zip
disk to school, downloading and burning a CD. Luckily, I was able to
email the docs (yes, it took time).
I think there are also free storage spaces on the internet where you can
upload files to save them. http://www.filegenie.com looks like a good
one, but has a fee starting at $2.99 per month.
https://www.ibackup.com/regtermsssl.htm is also subscription for 50 MB
for $3.00 per month. I think the Yahoo.mail gives free storage, but I'm
not sure about signing up for Yahoo mail. But at $3 for a month, sure
is cheaper than a $60 cable and gives you time to fool around with it.
Good luck,
