Comments on: Thanks again, Bill http://justindow.com/2007/03/31/thanks-again-bill/ Another day in the life of… well, me! Wed, 18 Apr 2012 02:17:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.3 By: Alan http://justindow.com/2007/03/31/thanks-again-bill/comment-page-1/#comment-228 Alan Fri, 25 May 2007 13:06:34 +0000 http://justindow.com/2007/03/31/thanks-again-bill/#comment-228 Just wanted to drop a line to say a big "thank-you". I was tearing my hair out with exactly the same problem except that although I had the original files to work from they had taken about 12hrs to compile into a whopping multi-gb file and I didn't want to go through that again. I followed your method on here and it worked like a charm. Thanks again, Alan Just wanted to drop a line to say a big “thank-you”.

OSs? Not so much. Weird, I normally have dreams of Krusty the Clown looking reeses monkeys attacking me while I’m driving a steam powered Krispy Kream donut. OSs? Not so much.

You will no longer be judged by the color of your computer but by clarity of your itunes and the cuteness of your built in camera. Yes, I have a dream......

Sorry to have to see the next generation reliving the same nightmares that I had almost 15 years ago. Some Germans have a great saying: MSFZ - Micrsoft free zone. Find one, get into it, and if you really, really, really have to use Windows, then put it into an isolated virtual machine! Don't let it escape! Wow.

Even WITH their built in Files and Settings Transfer wizard, which just skips over the file...

Well, then there was something wrong with it! :-p Have you ever seen the Migration Assistent of Mac OS X? It's just great and saved me a LOT of time at work. It just moves your $HOME from one computer to another (Macs of course) that are connected by firewire. No network needed, just a simple Firewire cable. And as OS X's core is based on a REAL operating system (as to say U..N.. you know what I mean), everything of the user preferences is also stored in $HOME. No need to look for strange directories or Windows registry keys. “There wasn’t anything in particular wrong with it, but it was running Windows [...]“.
