The set of demos is somewhat different, so you might want to save your
old favorites.  Apps that use the Music kit will work fine, but it won't
be easy (if even possible) to compile a 3.0 app that uses the music kit.
(At least until CCRMA releases a new music kit, and I don't know
anything about that...)

You might also save the old Interface Builder.  The new one is better, but
it writes nibs as file packages.  I tend to use SegHoarker (great app!)
to muck with nibs, but you can't insert 3.0 nibs back into 2.0
app segments.  (So keep the old one if you're going to muck with old apps)
