[QUOTE="frankmezz, post: 819032, member: 26371"] When i bought my iMac and turned it on for the first time there were several start up questions. one was, "is this a replacement machine" or something like that. I said yes and was asked if i wanted to transfer all my files and settings from the old mac. I said yes, and was asked to start the old machine in target mode (you are told how) and to connect the machines via fire wire. All my files and settings including software i bought and loaded on the old machine moved over automagically. I dont know if this is still the case but it sure was slick. [/QUOTE]
