I had a PowerBook that was showing it’s age. I didn’t feel like buying new computer so I actually bought a Mac mini on the recommendation of one of my co-workers.
Setting up the machine is typical Mac: plug in and go. The migration assistant made transferring everything over to my new computer way too easy.
Of course, there is a hitch: I used my AFP server to hold my TimeMachine sparseimage and that does not work on my new machine. I don’t feel like mucking with it now and I’m sure that getting the backup to work with my new computer will take time and effort that I am not willing to put in.
Anyway, I’m happy I got a new machine to work with.
