Re: Moving an eMac from 10.2.8 to 10.4.11
I suggest trying leopard on it, that's what I did with my 700Mhz eMac. Performance is good. Tiger is a little dated, are you SURE you want to stick with tiger?

She has also proven herself a remarkable literary critic. If a book is good, she'll spare it, but if it sucks, she'll barf on it and/or scratch the cover. She has been 100% accurate so far.

Can that be done with the Library, System, Users folders ? You anticipated my next question very nicely, Walter. Mail can at least be exported/imported more or less successfully (although it doesn't really give you an exact replica of the source tree structure, I believe). What about merging iTunes and bringing over users? Migration Assistant is/was supposed to know how to do that, but I'm not sure if it has the selectivity to allow the amount of picking and choosing I would like. Finally, what about users with the same name? I know that since Mac OS uses the Unix scheme of totally unique ID generation for each user instance, it would seem that I shouldn't have any users on the target with the same names as those on the source system. Also, I would like to avoid migrating applications en masse and would rather do that manually. And thanks again, everyone, for all the excellent advice. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: DVI, VGA, or HDMI?
I have an iPhone, and I got it because my old phone was terrible, it couldn't keep up with 30-second calls, and it was the LG Vu. My iPod nano 3G is getting older by the day, and I have had this for 2.5 years. So I thought about getting an iPod touch and a new phone, and found out I got a discount for a new phone so I got an iPhone, and here is where I am. I got the 3Gs only because I didn't want the delicate iPhone 4 with me. One drop and KABOOM! The 3Gs is much more durable, but I still got a case for it.
