I have had my 12" for over a year, and there's a lot of crap on there that needs to be flushed. My OS has been pretty flaky lately and I want to do a clean install to start fresh. I've imaged the whole drive to another machine, and I think I'm ready to take the plunge. So after I clean install, how to mine my data out of the old image. There's my music, my mail, documents, pictures, stickies, bookmarks, adium logs, etc.

Any hints on how to set this all up, so it's easy to get me all back up and running again?
