I'm finally making the move into the modern age and am asking for

eventually will use the 500GB as the boot drive in the new
machine, late '09 Mac Mini.
Re-install OSX in the Mini, and where it asks you if you want to
transfer your information from another Mac, select that, and it
walks you through setting up FW target mode. This is the most
painless way of doing it; I've done two PPC -> Intel migrations
that way.
Didn't have to do that. Just connected a firewire cable to each
machine and started the old G4 in target mode and it's drive appeared
right on the Mini's desktop.
Kewel!!!
