migration

I know I can make an easy transfer of everything using time machine, but I'm trying to transfer the minimum necessary to the new computer (applications I currently use, Aperture database, etc.) in order to keep the new machine as clean as possible, and avoid starting out with any legacy problems with permissions, etc.

Clearly, I can copy individual apps and databases to an external drive and then install them on the new machine, but I'm trying to find an easier way.
