Oh, and a text editor.<\/p>\n<p>I installed Dropbox to make it easier to transfer files between the two machines, which it has (no worries with the free 2Gb limit).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m playing with LastPass instead of RoboForm. Lots of buzz from devoted users of the latter over the quality of the former, and LastPass was designed from the ground up as a network-enabled system to allow sharing of passwords; RoboForm has an online version now for syncing between PCs (which is part of what I&#8217;m driving at here), but it doesn&#8217;t sound quite as flexible. We&#8217;ll see how it works.<\/p>\n<p>Some biggies that remain for the migration include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Migrating iTunes (music and libraries). Like to have this done by this weekend, but live in somewhat-deathly-fear of screwing up the library data and losing stats and ratings and the like. I think I have it figured out, but &#8230;<\/li>\n<li> Migrating over our photo library stuff and Adobe Photoshop Elements. Here I&#8217;m more worried about the reinstall.<\/li>\n<li> A few other licensed pieces of software (Paintshop Pro, SplashID, SnagIt)<\/li>\n<li> Migrating fonts.<\/li>\n<li> Migrating all my personal docs.<\/li>\n<li> Getting Backblaze set up for backing up on the new machine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, so far so good. Liking the new machine, and looking forward to making still more use of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I continue my methodical migration of personal stuff from my old work laptop to my new home laptop.&nbsp; I&#8217;ve gotten City of Heroes installed (first thing I did &#8212; and, yes, it looks glorious).
