[P1] Migrating to a new mac

[Barry Lyden]

No, you don't have to export them. Files in OS X (from the mac user 
interface point of view) should not really look any different than in 
OS 9.  In the UNIX command line interface, yes, things can look 
different and intimidating, until you get familiar with it. :-)

I drag and drop photos between my ibook and my windows server via 
ethernet all the time. If you move a photo to another mac, I believe 
you can just use iphoto's import feature to inlcude it into the 
iphoto library on the new mac.

So long as you know where the files are actually stored on the disk, 
you should not have a problem. The default storage location for OS X 
iphoto is <user's home directory>/pictures/iphoto library" if I'm not 
mistaken. Just don't forget where you put the photos on the desktop 
mac after you move them. :-)

Have fun,

Barry
