If Im to use the migration assistant which computer should I boot and hold the T button (is it the Ibook?) Sorry im new to this thing...

Thank you in advance!
Yes, that's correct, you would use a firewire cable. It does not erase the files from the source computer (your iBook). You would boot the source computer (your iBook), holding down the "T" key.
