Ann, If you take the CD approach, be sure to use the 9440 format. Both Macs and Windoze units can read that.
Also, if you are transferring more than a few files, you may want to zip them into a single package before burning them onto the CD. Reason: Windows units identify files from a CD as "locked" and you'll have to unlock them one at a time. If you're working from a zip file, there's no such problem.
