[Macpartners] moving user's stickies from one mac to another (leopard to snow leopard)

[Duncan S Kincaid]

aha! thanks... 
i had thought ~/Library/Preferences/widget-com.apple.widget.stickies.plist
contained the data...

sadly there is no ~/Library/StickiesDatabase
(am working with recovered files from failed HD so i suppose she's out of luck).

thanks again to all!
