Ron, for virtually everything that isn't Microsoft Office, you actually can just drag the application into the folder -- many applications are package files just like the iPhoto or Aperture libraries -- they look like one thing but are really a container full of other stuff. You can also use...

It's not erased, but it's not active in your system. To bring items back you can either use the migration assistant and manually get anything that was missed, or just drag items from the old folders into the new ones.

What's great about Archive and Install is that it makes a fresh, clean install and leaves all your old stuff in a folder called Previous System -- then you can migrate back what you want and delete the rest. You do need enough space on your hard drive to support two OS installs. Ron -- iMovie...

I'll check with the new one -- the old one needed either .Mac or another server to publish to.

Event dropbox -- where you put files for the people you're meeting with. And office hours and availability windows and room reservations... lots of useful stuff for managing groups of people. It went from an easy-to-use personal calendar to a very useful business calendar. And you can...

Slightly? Slightly? The new iCal is awesome.
