What's the best way to transfer data and programs from and old PPC to a new
PPC?

Should I keep the same User Name? Seems simpler, so I won't have to
re-register all old programs. But can I still use both PPC's for a while?

Any experience using Sprite Backup Upgrade Mode?

Upgrade Mode is, in general, pretty OK. You, however, should be aware of its
limitations. Therefore, you MUST transfer at least your PIM stuff with other
tools (in addition to Sprite, if the latter doesn't work - it refused to
work several times in these cases); preferably, teh free PIM Backup.

Thanks! I think I'll just upgrade the normal program at a time way.
