buy a portable hard drive. plus it into your computer via firewire or usb. Drag all of the important files onto the disk image on your desktop. then you will have all your information on that drive. which can be exported to another computer. (make sure you get a drive no less than 20 gig.) if you have a large amount of files on your computer.

burn them on a dvd if it isnt too much info. But the portable hard drive is probably the best option.

Do you have a yahoo, hotmail, or gmail account? Or any online email account for that matter...if it's not a lot of stuff, just email it to yourself, then you can access it from any PC, anywhere. I store files like my resume that way, then I can get them on the fly if I need to.
