Hi John,

I'll have a look.

I recently upgraded to a dual G5 and in setting up I used the  
firewire target disk mode to transfer everything over from my old  
computer.  It worked super and I had everything done in less than 20  
minutes.  My new G5 had all the settings and files ready to go.  It  
can't get any easier.
