333/365 - In With the New

After almost six years, we finally upgraded the home computer. Use of the old ancient computer elicited numerous complaints. I wanted to wait longer, but then again, I don't normally use the old ancient computer. We were starting to have issues with Erica's on-line homework, too.

I spec'd out the replacement tower over Thanksgiving and it arrived today. One of the accessories I added on was a "data transfer cable", that you hook up to both computers. With the supplied software, all of your data from the old computer is transferred to the new one. Wow, this made the over all process fairly painless - all of the digital music and pictures are in their proper spots on the new computer. Totally worth the extra $25.



Still, there's lots of stuff to re-install and clean up. The kids are happy that they can surf the internet quickly, with out the application locking up. I'm happy because we've got a terabyte hard drive. I'm hoping it won't fill up too quickly!
