[Ti] cloning a drive

[Eric]

dennis and david: thanks for your replies.   sounds good.  hopefully 
then a quick transition and then back to work.  i ordered the case and 
drive from owc, which a couple friends recommended.

and one other question - should i use Carbon Copy Cloner, or i see that 
panther can clone a drive from disc utility.  from the bit if research 
i've done, ccc seems to be the way to go.

thanks again. eric
