Unfortunately they want me to return this computer before they send the new one. I'm thinking about calling them and asking if I can give them a credit card hold, though, so I could do something like that. I once did that when they were replacing the hard drive. If the other computer won't boot up, though, would I still be able to do the feature you are mentioning? I appreciate your help! Valerie Written with Dragon Naturally Speaking 7.3. If it doesn't make sense, I probably missed a correction. -----Original Message----- From: g4-bounces at listserver.themacintoshguy.com [mailto:g4-bounces at listserver.themacintoshguy.com] On Behalf Of John Baltutis Sent: Tuesday, September 14, 2004 6:32 PM To: g4 at listserver.themacintoshguy.com Subject: Re: [G4] trying to extract data On 09/14/04, Valerie Maples" <vlmaples at bellsouth.net> wrote: > > I hope someone here can help me.

Since Apple's sending a new computer, wait until it arrives, and use the new Setup Assistant feature.
