Just received my new Macbook Pro and proceeded to set it up. Cut a long story short, after sum indecision, I used Migration Assistant to bring cross my 'stuff' from my old ibook. This all worked kinda find except once completed I ended up with lots of 'doubles' in my Applications and a couple of other places. For instance - I had two Adobe Acrobat Readers - one labelled as per normal and the other with '(old computer)' - or something to that effect at the end of it. I went through and trashed the 'old computer' ones.

The machine is operating fine but I'm wondering how many other doubles are now running through my system - in some of the less obvious places? I don't like the idea of having a new machine with rubbish on it from day one.

I could format the drive and try again, leave it or just put 10.5 on it and reinstall everything else from scratch - painful, but clean. THe last one is time consuming, not my first choice but possibly the cleanest solution.

What's your thoughts?

maybe use something like this?

Just go through and delete the "(old computer)" versions and see how it goes. I doubt it's duplicated background processes, but if it seems sluggish too often, or problematic, then reformat.
