[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1577906, member: 131855"] I am not sure I would go down that road just yet. The cost of the Snow Leopard Server and Parallels combo could easily run well over $100.00 or more depending upon how much you pay for Snow Leopard Server. I've seen Snow Leopard Server prices from about $20 to more than $80 and parallels will cost you an additional $80 unless you can find a deal somewhere. You will have spent over $100 and you are still running older software in an emulator which is one slow things down a bit. Here is what I would do in this situation: 1. Transfer your data only to the new Mac. 2. Identify what programs you will need to open the data. 3. Determine whether any of the applications already on the Mac might open the data. Preview, for example, can perform a number of basic functions with PDF documents. If you are having trouble finding alternative applications post here and let us know. 4. You might be able to avoid upgrading many of your apps. Although this will be somewhat time-consuming, you won't waste time and money upgrading apps unnecessarily. [/QUOTE]
