Oooo, oracle, should I move to Florida and be your neighbor so we can have all sorts of fun? *sigh* I long to live in a place where it doesn't snow. Of course, I also long to live in a place it doesn't get too hot/humid either.

Boo. That leaves Chicago out.

See, I've spent a lot of time in Florida, but it was a long time ago, and on an island, so I'm not sure how much that would affect things, nor how clear my memory is.

The summer can get damn hot, but I'll take it over snow any day.

Heat never bothers me, just strip down and lay under the ceiling fan and let ice cubes melt over your skin. Works for me.

Sounds like a good plan lil, This is the first spring/summer season in a row that I can remember in a long time, that i cant wait for it to come, most years enjoy the snow and cold, hated it this year.

I am from up North originally, cold country. I moved to sunny Florida to get away from that. So I will gladly deal with the sweltering summers to not have the snow.

You mean the lack of clothes? I jsut had to go shopping for a friends wedding and ...to my utter amazement I found the perfect dress within 10 minutes. I walked into another store and found the perfect jewelery.

Florida weddings, outside, summer months...they can be lethal if you don't have the right clothes.

Of course, what sort of girl doesn't match up when given the chance to dress up?

good question! hopefully all do! just a shame I wont have the chance for a dance and find out for myself!

Doubtful that a dance would lend itself to you finding how how much of me matched anyway.

Thank you for that, Empress. So now that the mental image of you lying declothed and melting ice cubes all over yourself guarantees that I'll get nothing productive down, how are you tonight?

Really? I would imagine you could find a way to be quite...productive.

OK nerds, I need some help here.

I'm shipping out for basic training in April it looks like, and sadly, I have a large quantity of stuff I need to transfer off of my computer so I can put it on my next computer (my little brother is getting this PC, after I reformat it and put a fresh install on it). Normally I'd just buy the new computer and switch out the hard drives, but I'm not planning to buy the new PC until I finish basic training, since I can't use it during that time anyways, and because they send me to my tech school straight from Basic, so I'd not have a chance to pick up my computer on the way.

Anyhow, I need a way to get all this info off of my computer that is A) Reliable B) Affordable

I was looking at an external hard drive, but I've been warned that they don't ship very well in the mail (the current plan is to have my parents mail me my stuff once I get to my tech school), so possibly a DVD burner, so I would appreciate some suggestions from both categories if anyone can help me out.

How much data are we talking about?

Well, if I keep all of it, around 200GBs, though to be honest, I could probably lose most of it and it wouldn't be a great loss, I'm just something of a packrat.

Well if you are planning on wiping it and doing a clean install why not just buy a new hd and set that up and keep the one you have to slave into the new system?

Probably a good idea, though I'd still have to figure out how to make fairly sure the hard drive wouldn't be damaged while sitting in a box or while being mailed to me in California after I finish Basic. Also, do motherboards designed for SATA hard drives have the ability to read IDE drives? I ask because my current computer uses IDE, and the small number of motherboards I glanced at online looked like they used SATA.

Probably, if you follow the appropriate procedures.
