First I have to say this thing is just AMAZING!!!!! I cant believe how quiet it is!!

Ok now for my questions.

What is the easiest way to move all my stuff and preferences to my New Laptop from my old laptop?

How do I log in as root to delete my OS9 folder?

Thanks.
i hate project managers.

There are a lot of options, but the one I most highly suggest is that you don't move everything When working with a clean install you have a lot of options and I would personally spend the extra half an hour or so installing the programs you use and settings things up. One time when I used Clone Copy my powerbook wouldn't boot due to a different OS so I had to reinstall the OS.

Thats just my opinion though.
Am I still here?
