if you ask me, the real problem in both cases is the organization's attitude towards people in general. Private corporations regard people pretty much the same way that farmers regard cows (i.e. as things that have value as individuals precisely to the extent that they can be milked), while government bureaucracies tend to peg your average citizens as somewhere between helpless idiots and a mindless irritants (e.g., as things that get in...

Help with 'Migration'...
Published (2009-11-21 15:13:00)
Migration Assistant I think first appeared in OS X 10.4. So, if it is not present in /Application or in /Applications/Utilities, I would suspect the eMac is running Panther (version 10.3). What exactly are you trying to migrate over?

Help with 'Migration'...
Published (2009-11-21 16:11:00)
You want to run (and look for) Migration Assistant on the new machine, which may involve joining the Macs by Firewire cable. As tlarkin points out, if the G5 is running Tiger or later, then it should be in /Applications/Utilities

That's not gonna do it (if that's even what the OP wants).

Some people think we've already hit peak oil. I don't think so. I think that when that happens, and it will happen, there will be no way to keep it a secret. That's when the financial markets will really be in turmoil. We may look back on this period as a good time.
