As I previously said I would, I started transferring all the files we wanted to keep from the older computer to the new computer. I simply copied the files over the network, but at the very beginning of one of the transfers (I split it up into several groups), I saw something rather odd. Maybe you've seen this before, but I don't think I have. See the image....
That's right. 48, 366 days and 23 hours remaining in the transfer. Whooah! That's somewhere in the area of 132.4 years, I believe. So, umm, good. My rather future descendants might be able to enjoy whatever files I was copying. :)
Hehe, well, it quickly corrected itself and transferred rather quickly. But I was happy to get screen shot of it first. I haven't had any problems with Windows Vista yet, but this doesn't give me any confidence in its ability to calculating things.
Where's my abacus?

Well, at least it wasn't 4gigs over dialup.... >:-)
Ah yes, the days of backing up over dial-up. That was fun. When was the last time I used a floppy? Strange to think the last time I bought a computer that had a floppy drive in it was 11 years ago.
