I have to admit, everytime I see an old junked 030, 040 or PPC based Apple at my local computer salvage shop I still think, "Damn, If only I could rip the guts out of that and put it in an Amiga."

You could pick it up and run 68k AROS on it...

I've always wondered... if you enter a teleporter on Star Trek, do you die, and a mere physical copy of yourself takes your place?

I believe in Star trek the idea is that you are transmitted to another place and reassembled so no.

But only information can be transmitted at any great speed (ie the speed of light), so it would make more sense to destroy the object/person at the source while mapping the exactly location of each particle (Heisenberg compensators on full power!), and then build and identical copy at the destination based on that information.
