Scary times...I've got a new Mac Mini, have to disconnect the old G5 iMac. [View all]

The ol' iMac has been a loyal hound, but alas, can't keep up. The new Adobe Creative Suite won't run on her old G5 processor. I'm spending half my day looking at the spinning beach ball. But there is something about pulling the plug that has me slightly freaked out. I've invested years in this machine, now I'm just going to unplug it and hope life goes on???

I pray to thee, O' Migration Assistant!
