Hmm, the complicating factor here is that without a firewire connection, you can't put the laptop into Firewire Drive mode and treat it as just a firewire hard drive. Can you connect two Macs together via USB 2.0 and use that connection to transfer data? Otherwise, you would need a third device (i.e. external hard drive) to use the USB 2.0 to transfer data between the two.

Otherwise, you would connect via WiFi between the two Macs and just transfer that way.
