first post 
ok, ill let everyone know how the replacement does in another big thread, but heres the deal. i had an imac that was yellow. my friend suggested that i just keep installing all my programs on it, that night, back it up in time machine and just hook it up when my new one gets there and save me a good chunk of time.
unfortunately for me, he's on a business trip to italy, so im a little unsure of how to go about this.
do i go through the initial setup (user names, etc) and THEN restore, OR is there something i do much earlier than that...like during the setup. obviously ive never messed with time machine like this, so you know...help is good!
thanks for the help, guys...
