[P1] Migrating to a new mac

[don hinkle]

Thanks, what I'm wondering is whether I can drag the photos from the 
iBook at <user's home directory>/pictures/iphoto library" into the same 
location on the iMac, without causing any disruptions or upsets in the 
iMac?
   And probably I should then Delete them within iPhoto on the iBook.
-??
