The new laptop is working well--the migration tool seems to have successfully moved almost everything, though I'm still figuring out a few places where I have to say "it's OK to use those old keychain items" so that the stored passwords and such get used.

It looks very little different from my old one--metallic-look keys instead of black, case is a little more rounded, and all the ports moved from the back under a little flip-down cover to the two sides with no covers. It does look a little messier to have the USB, Ethernet, and power cables sticking out the sides, but so far it's not a problem.

Anyway, I was really impressed with the migration tool. It moved user accounts, files, software, and all and with very few glitches (at least, very few that have shown up as yet). Even moved the "government warning" message on the login screen. Now if OpenAFS will just come out with a version for Tiger, the old laptop can be honorably decommissioned.
