Is there an easy way to transfer the users (login, addressbook, keychains, mail, favoites data, etc.) from my iBook to my new MacBook?

I have an Airport network if that helps with transfer...

Regards,

Tom P.

Thanks - that's exactly what I needed.

If I have some issues with my current HD - controller going south, contantly repairing permissions, ect. - is it a bad idea to use Migration Assistant (i.e. will corrupted data transfer to the new machine)?

Regards,

Tom P.
