Hi Tim, If you are prepared to go down to the Terminal level, HFS already has the facility to store what is called metadata with any file. This does not change the file and it is associated with the file at the filesystem level. Note this only works on HFS and HFS+ filesystems, not Windows

Weighing in late on this,... But my preference would just be to put the Pismo into Firewire Target Mode (Start the laptop up with the T key held down). It then turns into one big Hard Drive. Plug this into the new machine and then transfer across your data. I wouldn't even look at moving

Yes, the removal of the info would be one downside. (sorry, forgot to mention that). The other downside I noticed (for my machine anyway) was that some programs (eg Safari) wouldn't let me add Spotlught comments. Maybe I didn't try hard enough lol. But was curious, would the Terminal command

Well I've just seen the announcement that Pages, Numbers and Keynote have been released as iPhone apps - perhaps that's been taking priority over updating the 'parents' … (there is mention of a free update for existing iPad customers using iWork so changes have been made there apparently)
