I've taken the decision to upgrade to one of the new laptops in school - but it has one major drawback. I've spent the last two evenings looking at the current content of my "old" laptop, installing the programs on it onto the "new" laptop, then removing them from the "old" machine.
It's a long, slow and annoyingly frustrating job, and I'm amazed that no one has developed a program, application or widget that can read the installed programs on one machine, pull up a tick list and let you decide what is going to be copied across to a new machine through a simpe USB to USB lead. It would be a great idea, and if I knew anything about programming I'd be working on it right now. Unfortunately I don't, and so I sit here waiting whilst my entire iTunes library is copied onto the C Drive of the new machine, and my iPod and iPhone have to then be associated with the new machine, re-synced and authorised for use.
Once done I think that is everything copied across. (Bound to have missed something though).
