[X4U] migrating from one computer to another

[Jim Colgate]

Another thought would be to move the hard disk to your new machine. I would
guess that there is room for another disk in the case. Then boot off the old
disk and use the disk in the new G4 as a second drive.

Might be worth a try, unless you want to keep both machines operational.
