If you have a firewire port on your old mac connect the two firewire ports,
reboot old mac with T-key held down (you should see the firewire symbol
come up in a screensaver-like mode).

The old mac should now appear on the desktop as a Firewire Hard Drive.

Now copy the whole drive (you don�t want to go back and do all this again
later) onto a suitable location on the new eMac, e.g into the /Users/Shared
directory

When you�ve finished, unmount the old iMac from the eMac desktop and power
it off with the front button
