Woohoo!

Off to pick up new computer! So I'll probably be offline for a bit while we get it hooked up and running. But yippee! More speed, more power, more memory, more screen!

New computer! New computer! Cables Everywhere!

I can't properly introduce y'all, since I'm still using the old machine at the moment, but next to me is our new pride and joy - Big Blue (from the blue stripe down the front, and the size increase). When I told my sister that I'd christened it, she just said "Not Lex?" in a disgusted tone of voice. To which I told her what an idiot she was (that was only if I got the purple case I'd seen at one site *g*).

Anyone ever used direct serial cable connection to move files from one computer to another? Cause we can get the connection set up, and we specify which folder we want to move, but then the wizard goes through checking every folder on both hard drives, and compressing everything it wants to anyway (and this takes forever, so we give up). Can't find anything in Knowledge Base about this either.

We could use the zip drive to move the files, but it'd be convenient if we could get this direct cable thing working.
