thanks dave and again it's pretty cool to be running the old mac from the superduper clone....

like right now.

i did get the new mac, early this am.

the apple store removed and added ram AND they started the machine and went far enough along to set up the first account...

which is now my admin account.

i don't know why they did this, but it's done now.

anyway i'd like to have my previous admin account and other user accounts in place on this machine (from the s/d clone)

i know there is a process for changing the short user name (they created) but i'd really like to NOT have the account they created on the machine at all.

with this 3 hour old mac, can i get it back to CLEAN by reinstalling from the packaged discs?

will doing this REMOVE the initial account they created and let me start fresh?

if so, then i'll do the "first start up" process as you have described and report back how it goes.

thanks for the guidance.
