I do have a LocalTalk network (well, one cable that is). And yes, I 
agree that it's the easiest way to transfer files between the two 
machines. However,

A Powerbook with only one serial connector. I have to use this for my 
modem, my printer and the LocalTalk cable. So, if I want to switch from 
printing to networking or anything, I have to exchange cables first. And 
most of the time the localTalk cable isn't connected.
I have tried to find solutions for this: for instance the printer driver 
seems to think that this particular printer could also be driven through 
an AppleTalk connection, rather than via a simple serial cable. But when 
I tried that, it didn't work.
And I asked a while back in this newsgroup if it was possible to connect 
an AirDock to the IIgs so that I could do AppleTalk over the IR port of 
my Powerbook, freeing up the serial port. But it appeared that wasn't 
possible.
