the best way to make the transfer

[zoranb]

There is a TM backup from my Powerbook dated from Jan 2009 till today and there is an iMac that is new.
I want to be working solely on the iMac so i must transfer all my files from Powerbook to the iMac + the all the files that are in the PowerBooks TM backup too.

What would be the best way to do so? Plz tell me you opinion on this file transfer.

Open /Applications/Utilities/Migration Assistant and select the Time Machine to transfer only Network and documents(pictures & music). I say this because the PPC applications will not run very well on the new Intel system.

Also consult the wen site Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard compatibility table wiki page to see what programs are compatible with 10.6.x.

Well make sure to set it for Documents, Network Accounts, Pictures, Video, iTunes Music, etc. It's not that hard.
