So I'd just copy the contents of that folder (minus the MakeMusic

changes to the Address Book on your new computer since restoring
from the backup you made) to your new computer. (You can use the
FireWire target mode trick to do that -- hook up the two computers
using that FireWire cable you bought, and restart the old one
while holding down the "T" key. The old computer's HD will then
show up on your new computer's desktop.
That may indeed do the trick. However, I have learned the hard way
that Target disk mode can cause low level directory corruption on
the machine that is put into target disk mode. I now prefer to use
File sharing to transfer files from one machine to another. A pen
drive or CD will also work of course if your backups aren't on an
external storage drive.
Really? I haven't heard that. I've never had a problem with FW
Target Disk Mode.
Anyway, I don't think Dean is planning on using his old iMac
anymore. I assume he's going to sell it or donate it, and he'll want
to wipe the HD on it before doing that anyway.
