Transferring data PC-->Mac?

I have a ton of quality music (roughly 3 gigs) that I absolutely have to put on my new Powerbook G4. My old Dell laptop doesn't have a firewire plug, so I can't just dump stuff on a firewire drive and transfer it over. It also doesn't have a CD-burner, so I can't transfer data that way either.
The only thing I can think of is using my USB port somehow or set up a network connection through my cable modem ports? Anyone have any other solutions? |

My dear friend, I'm sorry to say it, but you are F***ed!
I'd do it over the network |

| Use a crossover (ethernet) cable to directly connect the two notebooks. They should both have ethernet ports and you should be able to just copy files. |

| With something like this crossover cable you plug each notebook into each end. Now you have a $10 dollar network, no need to get a hub or anything. On the PC create a share with the files you want to transfer and on the Mac mount the PC share. Then just drag the files to some location on the Mac... simple. |
