you don't have to power down this account... just keep it open, you never know when it might spring back to life (I am very creative and one day I think it could be used for something cool)... What you can do to get your SBD money from there and do a transfer to you new account. And you can "delegate" your Steem Power to your new account... That way you keep @simplymike as you, but also don't lose the 51 Reputation account that could be used in various ways later. Just my thoughts (even though you didn't ask) lol
Thanks again for helping here and make sure the "newbie" @simplymike lets me know when he gets going ;)
