yo! my new 17 powerbook comes in tomorrow... should i use the Setup Assistant to transfer my data and apps from my iBook or would you guys recommend reinstalling my apps on the new machine and manually transferring folders and files? i've never used the Setup Assistant and was wondering if anyone has had a bad experience. (i know i would never attempt something like this with a windows magine  )
new machine:
1.5ghz 17" powerbook 80 gig
old machine:
1.25ghz 14" ibook 60gig
thanx guys & gals!

I'd do a fresh install and, if possible, move all my files manually.

I used the setup assistant to transfer from my iBook to my Powerbook and everything was and is as smooth as can be. I don't know why anyone would recommend against it.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
