One poster has suggested hooking up a mac to a pc using a serial cable and using Kermit at both ends. There is actually a commercial piece of software that does this quite well -- not only does it transfer files from Mac to PC over serial cables, it does quite a few translations in the process. The software is called MacLink and is apparently made by DataWiz Co. (I just ran it on another machine and that's what it said...:-) It translates between most PC spreadsheets or WP software and most Mac stuff. I'm not sure about graphics or DTP, but I'm sure you can at least transfer the binaries directly. It should probably be available at your friendly neighborhood software shoppe... Disclaimer: I haven't actually used the program myself. My dad has used it quite frequently at his office, and the main computing center here on campus uses it for Mac-PC transfers. They all like it.
