Finally, I took advantage of the educational discount today and bought myself a MBP 13". Coming from Powerbook g4 12" 1.5 ghz, this is a major upgrade. Really Excited about it, but I have one question. When I asked a sales person at the Apple Store about data migration, she suggested I buy a FW400 and 800 cable for it, which makes sense. After coming back home I checked some forums and found quite a few people complaining a major headache after using migration assistant and transferring everything from PPC mac to Intel mac. So, I guess my questions are...

What is the best way to transfer data?

What should I do with itunes library, iphoto library, ical, and safari bookmarks and stuff if I chose to transfer files manually?

I'd really appreciate you educating me.
