heaven help me, i am going to upgrade

to win7

against my better judgement........i should have just gone to linux

however i am doing it today

so far i have put the new external hard drive on the main computer and went through the installation of the software and drivers then the update and subsequent installation of the updated software and drivers, followed i am pretty sure by a third and fourth update and installation of software and drivers....

i am not totally sure how many go rounds we had, as i have only had one cup of coffee so far

but i have been at this since 5am or so......and it's almost 7 now...... and still windows 7 is still in the box



meanwhile.....my dvd drive is running like mad.....
AND
it just froze my computer and i had to reboot.....(so now it's after 7)
i am running a test on the new external drive so i can back up the internal drive
i want to mirror this entire computer first
and then i think i will install 7 and pull the programs off the external drive.....no?
i also need to get the old win98 moved and reformatted on the dell for bernie

i got a lot of work to do

i need a lot of coffee i think

and a huge amount of luck
no?

    The issue with going to Linux is that some of your programs will only work with Windows...or so they tell you. I notice you have not posted yet this morning; hope everything is all right.
