[or-roots] New computer

<<and then test it to make sure the backup (and your procedure is good >>  

Oh yes, I learned that last summer when my ME program started going bad.......thought I was transferring all the good stuff, but it didn't really burn, just said it was doing it's job.

When I got my first computer the discussion went something like this.........Hubby said, "Honey, it will be good for your mind"......there are times I wonder if it isn't messing the mind up big time.

Again I thank everyone for all their good information and tips.  I had never thought of putting the hard drive into the new computer....however, grandson is going to get it, and start some college classes via internet.
