Hi - PowerBook 17" / iMac (Flat Panel) / Power Macintosh G4 (Digital Audio) - here!
I have taken the Tiger plunge and so far all is great!

One question, though, about transferring the Address Book data from my PowerBook to my iMac.
Is there a simple way to do this? How is it done - or IS it possible?

I enjoy this forum = I've been reading some of the posts and I'm impressed!

I've been a Mac guy since about 1980.

Thanks for joining, hope you enjoy it here!

The address book data is in ~/Library/Application Support/Address Book/. Copy the whole "Address Book" folder from Application Support on the old Mac to the same location on the new one. Do the same with the com.apple.AddressBook.plist file in ~/Library/Preferences/.

Mac user since 1980? Impressive! (Especially since that means you got one several years before it was invented! )

Sorry for the mis-post. Still navigating my way around here.

As for the Apple III, you'd better go back and check your historical facts. My brother Tom and I
picked one up for about $5K in the summer of '80. We owned a company in Los Angeles called Symation Electronics, Inc.

It was a bad choice because it was way too underpowered and we replaced it with an Apple III+ in '83, I believe. That was also pretty much a bust and was replaced with two Apple II-Cs in '84, I believe. I've probably owned another 20 or 30 Macs since.
