Move a lot of data between two Macs

If your home (wireless) network has limited bandwidth and you want to move a lot of data between two of your Macs, FireWire might be the best solution. Mac laptops have a disk transfer mode. When this is enabled the laptop becomes a disk for another Mac. Hit 't' when you boot your laptop and it will boot in disk transfer mode. Thanks douglasp for remiding me about this. [via]
