[OT] mac help needed

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Bob,

Is the PowerBook running Mac OS X or Mac OS 9? What does "it won't  
run" mean exactly, does it do anything at all, like starting up and  
quitting immediately? You should be able to copy the entire hard  
disk, but it won't help if you don't run it on exactly the same  
machine, because the system software will run on the same type of  
iMac only. (If you decide to copy the hard disk over the network,  
don't copy more than 2 Gig at a time). Normally, Mac programmes are  
not "path specific", but there may be safety measures built into the  
application, making it path-specific.

Mark
