The iBook has firewire but I couldn't get migration assistant to work. It sometimes recognized the iBook on firewire mode but usually didn't. And when it did recognize the iBook the transfer would hang at some point. Once it told me there were 1746048 hours left in the transfer. I am just not that patient. :-) I tried to just mount the iBook in firewire mode but the PowerBook would not mount it. I then tried mounting the PowerBook as a firewire drive on the iBook. That worked just like it was supposed to. With this connection I then copied most of my data and preferences over and spent the last few days fine-tuning, reinstalling and updating as needed. I think I now have everything transferred that I wanted to move over and all my programs and utilities seem to be working. Yeah! BTW, I absolutely love the PowerBook. Now to try installing Tiger on the old iBook. Thanks for all the help. Andre -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
