As the nominal sysadmin, I also have the ability to make it convenient for #1 Cable Soul Brother to transmit the data from/to wherever. So I'm at this location and I figure I'm going to need a copy of the old database, a copy of the new one, a copy of the web code, and about a week, maybe two if crisis interferes, at the end of which I can hand you the old database data in a seamlessly importable format. It would be great to do something that isn't "for the betterment of mankind" or whatever my job is. Or you can just take care of it. Seriously, one fast linux desktop with both rdbms, apache and the two phpadmin tools and you're already halfway done...or I'm already halfway done, since I'm sitting at one now.
