YES!!! I don't miss WinXP for a second after this great tip! Now I only have
to get the OSX Mac to see the Windows LAN to be a Happy Switcher ;-)  I
really thought OSX should be easy to hook up but it isn't. It's a drag
having to run with burned DVD's and CD's between the machines.

Per - here is a thought.

For very little money, I installed a Firewire card on my PC.

Hook up your spare firewire drive to the PC and format ISO as usual 
with Fdisk or whatever XP uses..

voila - PC sees the drive and so does your Mac. Since I did this no 
more burning no more waiting for the LAN to copy things over no more 
logging in or troubleshooting. Its very fast and convenient. I never 
thought "sneaker net" would make a comeback - but it is getting good 
use in my studio.
