I updated 2 days ago to a new system, and it's the first time I allowed
my self the luxury of sitting two systems side by side, and using a hard
drive mobile rack (or caddy) between the two for file transfer.
I may spend a month setting up my old parameters, but who cares. I do it
when I need it, and I have a working system to follow.

And I learnt my first lesson with data back-up in 1978. I had my TRS-80
in the same outlet as the one my wife wanted to use for the Iron. After
8 hours of writing "Hello, I am your friendly TRS-80 Computer" or
something just as serious, which I hadn't saved to cassette tape, she
pulled my plug.
"Darling, I said". :-)
