I don’t quite get what you mean here. Do you mean loading the Intel version of an app you had on the PPC machine and then using the data? Sure, but if the Intel app is a different version (newer or older) you might have some issues.

In Migration Assistant, I can just check my data and not my applications if I am moving from a PowerPC based computer to an Intel based computer and just load the Intel based apps on the new computer? For the longest time I thought you only got to do this when you first installed the OS. This is a great tip. Actually, you could us it as a super cheapo Clone tool as well. Jack,
