pakled, I found a really good computer for about $12,000 online :) It had every whistle, bell, and upgrade in the world. (Cost before tax, shipping, data transfer, etc. )

BAR-CODE, I didn't see an attack and I will ask the computer people about this when I take my computer in. My main concern was that if I didn't install my old hard drive I would lose alot of really important stuff from my email folder. And I would lose my FONTS!! Not to mention the huge data transfer issue.
The last time I got a new computer I paid over $500 for the data transfer of 80GB. The guy used Linux (?) for the transfer and kept my computer for over a week.It took me several months to get the new one straightened out. And then there was the work of locating and reinstalling 2000 fonts. 2000 fonts that needed to be downloaded separately, run thru the anti-virus, and installed ONE AT AT TIME.  You have NO idea the lengths I will go to to avoid that again :)
