Hi again,
	We've found that the Migration assistant works extremely 
well. My suggestion is to start the old machine in Firewire target 
mode, connect a firewire cable to the new machine & run the 
assistant. At the very worst, you'll only find that Quicken won't 
accept the new database & you'll have lost nothing from the old 
machine.
