I need to get a new computer. - znufrii Aug 6, 12:26 4

  - I figured keeping the newer laptop was a better choice than taking the much older desktop... - znufrii Aug 6, 12:35 1
    - Civ4 was the reason I bought that graphics card :) -- nm - oblique Aug 6, 12:37

Don Homer - how do you like Mozy? - JaxSean Aug 6, 12:25 11

  - That's nifty and a great way to do it if the basic networking doesn't fly -- nm - oblique Aug 6, 12:38
- Most backup products (like Mozy, Carbonite, Crashplan) don't work like a "drive". You can backup from one and "restore" to another but it isn't as - oblique Aug 6, 12:29 7
  - Skydrive only has 25G free. I guess I could move them 25G at a time... -- nm - JaxSean Aug 6, 12:31 6
    - If you're trying to move to a new computer, just network them together and copy directly -- nm - oblique Aug 6, 12:32 5

        Pretty much. They should show up in the network neighborhood for each other. May need to move the files into the "Public Folders" on the old computer - oblique Aug 6, 12:36
        
        see my post above. It's actually quite easy. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 6, 12:36 2
        
        I'll try the networking option, and if that doesn't work, go your route with that cord. Thanks -- nm - JaxSean Aug 6, 12:37
        
        (I was worried about this too after i ordered our new laptop a couple months ago. But it went very painlessly. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 6, 12:37

  - At least according to wikipedia regarding FSAs and also in my experience, OTC drugs are allowed -- (link) - oblique Aug 6, 12:40 2
    - Interesting. -- nm - Spawn Aug 6, 12:41
    - Interestingly, that same section says that the new law passed will make OTC non-eligible in 2011 -- nm - oblique Aug 6, 12:41
  - It is in mine. -- nm - Callisto Aug 6, 12:28

- I love now the page title reads... The real threat on illegal immigration: The New Yorker -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Aug 6, 12:32
