As an Apple tech, I've had to fix a lot of these, so if I may...don't 
reboot into Mac OS 9 and proceed to "organize" the new folder layout on 
the main hard disk...OS 10 really hates that.  Only the home directory 
actually belongs to the users, move and rename those to your heart's 
content.  Moving, deleting, or renaming any of the top level folders 
from 10 is a great way to kernel panic or at the very least get yourself 
locked out of your own system.

Note this is only possible under 9, 10 prevents you from doing these 
things (most of the time) from the finder.

Otherwise, have a good time and be sure to update your apps!
