Hi, you can use migration assistant. Just takes a firewire cable and lets your "old" computer reincarnate in the new one. Very powerful application and a miraculous experience: not only are files transferred, but also passwords to websites, settings etc. I did it the other way round, from my macbook to my imac, and I can't imagine the process to be much different if you do it like you are planning to do. alex On 2/11/08 8:30 PM, "Keith Reedy" <WA9DRO@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi folks, > > We have an iMac and we have a new macbook coming later this week.
