Migrating to new iMac
Hi,
Just order a new iMac 27" i7. The local retail Mac Store offered to migrate all of my data from my iMac 2006 running Lion for $100. Should I have the Mac Store do it or try myself?
Thank you

You can do it easily if you have a Firewire cable.
On first boot have the old one in Target mode...

This will make your old Mac look like a FW drive to the new one, boot the new one up, after putting a little info in it'll ask if you want to Migrate, I choose everything.
