Platform switching

As you probably know I recently bought a Macbook Pro to replace my trusty Powerbook G4, friend of many adventures in the lands of programming, and you will be happy to discover I’m still writing posts on the old friend.

The reason is simple, I still couldn’t find the time to move all of my data from the PB to the MBP, and I’m not sure I will be able to do it as soon as I would like to.

Nowaday people stock so many data on their hard drives, personal and work related, that migrating is a PITA. I could use the mac migration assistant, but I would like to reorganize everything (especially my fink layout). I also fear that many of my applications won’t work well on the new intel platform.

I’ll probably try the migration assistant and see if it allows partial migrations (maybe just music, that would be ok).

I’m open to any suggestion so feel free to comment, and cross your fingers for me :)
