It may actually be faster to copy the files across your LAN.

Remember that you can put a Linux distro on the old laptops and configure the interface to look very like OS9 or OSX if that's what you like. Getting rid of Vista in particular will make a huge difference to usability. You can run a 32 bit version in 1GB or even 512MB at a pinch.
