    Is there somethign I can do to migrate my data from a MB to MBP? I still have not completely decided to get one since my last was stolen; I'm bouncing back and forth between keeping my MB and getting an xbox 360 or just getting a mbp, or even just getting a PC -- I'm finding the mac is kinda annoying to do productivity-type work on, such as stuff with Word and powerpoint.

    Well, if its just files, its pretty easy to do; you can just drag files onto a flash drive or an external hard drive, and then plug it in to the other Mac, and copy those files onto the other Mac.

    So why the MBP? Out of want for the clean looks :p

    It sounds like the right thing to do for you is go back to the PC world.
