ooooooh, thanx everyone! i just can't believe i have to wait until Tues. to start all the action. stupid UPS. they lost my package and then found that it was delivered to the wrong person in OKLAHOMA!
pandasan:1) Form a home network between your Dad's PC and your new laptop so you can transfer the files over the network. This involves having both PCs connected to the internet through a switch/hub/etc and then creating a network. If you or your Dad are not very techy this might not work for you, but this is what I have always done.
that might not be a good idea considering that my dad and i are not very techy.
2)Buy a transfer cable for ~$30 and link the 2 computers USB ports for file transfer. It comes with software to help transfer files directly from one computer to the next. I bought one of these recently and plan to try it when my new PC arrives - it's supposed to be faster than going through the network
i think that would actually be a lot better! i'm think i'll try that
3)Burn to DVDs? If your dad's PC has a DVD burner and your laptop can read DVDs, they would be a better option than CDs, as DVDs have a capacity of 4~8GB depending on how many layers they have. You could burn all of your stuff to 1 DVD as opposed to 4 or 5 CDs
i don't know if i have blank DVDs. maybe i do somewhere in this computer office.....
MaryH:
yeah, i recently organized my downloads into seperate folder like "hacks", "furniture", etc. but i haven't organized ALL of them yet! i think i should do that right now.
Thank you all so much! this is really gonna help (and my dad says this forum's a waste of time!)
