For me, the easy migration from old to new Mac is one of the best features of the Mac OS, along with spotlight the saviour of the untidy filer! cheers, Frank On 12 Jul, 2008, at 08:27, Nathan wrote: > Thanks guys, I am running it as we speak (the initial Verify > Permission did find a bunch of problems).
