Copying programs to new computor
Im going to get the 20" iMac, and I was wondering if I would put all of my programs from my iBook on to my iPod and then transfer them to my iMac would that work? Would I need the .dmg file for the program to work correctly or would it work with only the program. Any help would be great so if I know I've got to find all of the installation stuff before I get my iMac tomorrow, transfering it to my iPod would be a lot easier.

yeah i instantly thought the same, but perhaps

Um... moving/copying apps from one comp to
another works just fine, but you also should
copy all the reciepts to the apropriate folder.
--> top library "reciepts".
Some apps put specific files into "application folder"
either top library or user library. Don't forget
them copying too.
In general it amazingly works just fine.

In any case, do all the new computers now come with that startup where you can hook up the computers via firewire and it has that assistant that helps you copy stuff over automagically?
Edit: N/M. Kmunic's got it. That's the easiest way.
