[iBook] The great Windows - Mac migration

[Valerie Maples]

Although it can be slow as others have mentioned, I used IntelliMove via USB
from the Apple site.   The frustrating part is that you do have to buy the
Macintosh equivalent program which for some of us ain't cheap. Four months
after getting my new G5 I still have side by side computers that are
networked for such reasons.

If it is just a matter of correspondence and e-mail or other standard
applications, the migration will be a breeze.

Best wishes!
Valerie
