I have to do that sometime in the not too distant future. I have a new drive: I just haven't wanted to begin the process of re-installing everything on it.
I have some of my stuff back up and running, but not Thunderbird yet, which is what I use to check the usual administration address. (Need to get all my mail folders, etc. moved over, and if I don't block out 30 minutes for it, it'll take 60, but if I block out the 30 minutes, it'll only take 10. Or so it seems to go.)
Don't bet on the latter. Bet on the former being ridiculously optimistic, especially if you total up the time from all of the multiple times you will have to repeat the process until it works correctly (and it may not be obviously working incorrectly for several hours/days//weeks until suddenly everything comes to a screeching halt).
(This applies to _any_ task involving computers. Especially the ones which are obviously so simple and straightforward that they should take no more than 10 minutes.)
I'll have that up tomorrow evening or sometime Friday. (Got a date with my hubby tonight -- married 14 years ago today!)
Congratulations! Happy anniversary!
And I still need to install the camera software and the genealogy software, but that'll wait until the mail stuff is up and running properly. :)
IOW, maybe sometime in the fall¹ . . . (¹Note that a year is not specified.) Voice Of Experience Maru -- Ronn! :) _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
