New MB—Best Way to Transfer Files?

[mrlynn]

Number Two Son is getting a new (refurb) MacBook from the Apple Store. The TiBook G4 that I gave him as a wedding present is having problems (fans don't work, and now HD getting flakey), but assuming he can keep it running, what's the best way to transfer his data files, email, iCal, Address Book, etc.?

Should he use Migration Assistant? My recollection is that MA requires a Firewire connection, which the MB doesn't have. True?
