Having said that Peter, Rhonda will testify to issues with migrating
data from one Mac to another.
When I got my latest Intel iMac fro work, I let the Apple show do it
using the the function when you turn on a new iMac for the first when
it ask if you want to import data from another Mac.
I imported a few problems and am still trying to sort them out.
I'm about to upgrade from my home PowerPC G5 to an Intel iMac. Will
have a good look at Rhonda's suggestion on her web site.
In the same vein (the jugular), at work we have almost successfully
migrated data from the backup of the Windows server that 'died' to a
Intel iMac. We had lots of fun with a few terse words and pulling of
hair.
Thank goodness I'm now all Mac and plan to look carefully at a Macmini
Snow Leopard Server. The job for this week is to read the first three
documents on the server.

Last night I helped a mate set up his new PC running Windows 7,
their all-singing all-dancing OS. Funny I thought. it looks awfully
like OS10, but without Apple's stylish subtlety. A lot of things
have been moved around compared with Windoze XP, but I was prepared
to search for a couple of things.
But when to came to transferring his old data from the XP laptop to
the new Win7 desktop I quickly found myself kneeling down praying
for divine intervention and begging God to destroy all traces of
Bill Gates and Microsoft and, with a quick miracle, give everyone on
Earth a Mac.
I looked at the Help section for Win7 and when I saw something like
"LGST protocol layer" in the Networking section, I admitted defeat.
So now I am again very glad that I have a Mac, and my mate is going
to call an IT expert.
Be kind and gentle to your Mac - they preserve your sanity.
