Me personally prefers to start off fresh. |

| 711708 | 2008-10-13 03:33:00 | Could we expand on that a bit Plod? on which bit. The assistant will transfer all user settings, network settings, all your programs over. More or less it will put what ever was on the old mac into the new one. I like starting off with a clean system, gives me a chance to cull some of the crap out |
