I have a three year old iMac running leopard and want to get a newer machine. The new machine will come with snow leopard. I need to stay with leopard, at least for a while because one of my programs, quickbooks (Grrrrr) isn't compatible with snow leopard. Can I clone my current leopard hard drive to the new snow leopard iMac? In other words will the new iMac run ok on leopard? Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

QuickBooks does run on Snow Leopard.
Don't install a version of Mac OS X earlier than what came with your Mac
Thanks for the info. The second citation is probably the most important to me. I use an older version of qb for mac (2005 I think) which isn't snow leopard compatible. Guess I'll have to bite the bullet and get a newer version of quickbooks. Or maybe just get the windows version and run it in vmware fusion. My accountant hates the mac version anyway,... Which seems to be pretty universal...
