[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1951937, member: 131855"] I missed this tidbit the first time I read through this thread. When you get the new machine try running Migration Assistant first thing. It should be able to use the Time Machine backup as the starting point and grab all files needed to make the new Mac as close to the old one as possible. As I mentioned earlier do this instead of creating a new user account. IIRC you will get to select the things you want to restore. [/QUOTE]
