What is even more cool is if you don't have dropbox installed in any computer you can always access your files anywhere on any computer by visiting the dropbox website and loging into your dropbox account. So make sure you have your files from your primary computer backed up in the dropbox folder.

I will certainly install it on the new computer and log in and start the ball rolling. I could use a flash disk as Al suggested, but plugging and unplugging the device can sometime get to be a pain. Again, thanks for all. Take care.
