transferring User Account to 2nd Mac, or something similar?How to?
Hey all,
currently we have a G5 iMac with 3 user accounts on it. My siter's, my mother's and mine. Im buying an eMac and i plan to network the computers so that they share an internet connection, an external HD and can transfer files.
what i'd like to know is, is there some way i can move my entire User Account to my new computer so that it is shared between the two? Or so that they atleast appear the same?
If i were to move my User Account off the iMac and onto the external HD, then i could share it through that? Or if i atleast moved the relevant files?
basically, if what im talking about is possible, and you know how to do it, can you tell me? Or if you know a website with detailed instructions?
thanks you
PS. should this be in the Genius Bar?

It seems there should be some third-party utility to sync Home directories over a local network, but I don't know of any names offhand.
