<DIV><EM><FONT face=Verdana>Your computer guru can transfer the entire
contents of your old hard drive to your new computer. You leave it safe
and sound hiding in its own corner until you are SURE everything you want is
working well in it's new environment, THEN and only then you delete the old
stuff to make room for all that new stuff you are adding.</FONT></EM></DIV>

<DIV><EM><FONT face=Verdana>My new computer has been up and running for a year
and a half and the old stuff is still hiding in it's corner. I may need it
again some day. After a year I did delete the old operating system.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>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. </FONT></DIV>

the new computer? a New<BR>> 'puter should have room for more than one hard
drive. Maybe your<BR>> electronics dealer could help you with
this?<BR>> <BR>> Happy Holidays!<BR>> <BR>> Bill
