Lenny, That was my experience too so that is why I suggested it. You hadn't mentioned how much you were looking to transfer so I figured I'd toss that idea into the mix. Glad it worked out

So, I went ahead and backed up everything on an external drive and then pasted my documents on my new computer. It took time, but in the long run, it was quicker as you suggested. I will use the DropBox to transfer small files in the future. Thanks for your advice. Take care.
