Macs do a nice trick. Aside from upgrading the same machine, if you buy 
a new Mac can connect your old one via firewire, boot it as a firewire 
target (they all do that) and it will migrate all your old settings 
(users/passwords etc.) and programs over.  A new Intel Mac will even 
migrate older PPC programs over and continue to run them.  That's a 
tough act to follow.
