A New Computer
We got a new computer about a month ago. Actually, we got a whole bunch of parts and I built one from scratch. It was a first for me and I’m pretty proud of it. We have the fastest computer in the neighborhood (probably most neighborhoods) but it turns out we didn’t save as much money as I thought we might. Especially if you factor in the time it took to get the thing working. I destroyed one power supply, but luckily that was the only casualty.
The problem is figuring out how to move about 100GB of files from the old computer to the new one. Most of the files don’t really have to be moved since I can re-install them from discs, but all of our pictures and music had to be moved along with other documents and data files. I spent most of last night and today trying to get it all in place. It’s not perfect, but I think I’m satisfied. The scary thing is the final steps with the old computer because when I remove the hardware from it that I want to move to the new one there’s no going back. Every time I do this I end up forgetting at least one or two programs or files that I can’t live without and can’t get back.
Wish me luck.
