Oh man, do I ever hear that! I really need a new desktop. I think this one has
been in service longer than any of its
predecessors. But I so much am NOT looking forward to the process.
In the past, I've always installed on the new system only what I know I will
really use, then leave the old system
running. Then as I find other things I want/need, I can use them on the old
system, then install on the new. When I've
not had occasion to use the old system for a year or so, it goes into storage,
and the one before it can be dumped.
Being me, my computers end up with amazing numbers of programs on them. I have
no idea at the moment what quite a few
are for. The gentle transition gets rid of the chaff without risk of cluttering
up the new one with dross nor missing
something I need. It's tried and proven, but a pain I'm not looking forward to.

They are quite useful for a family or group with various sorts of devices. When
I take a pic with my iPhone, it appears
automagically in the DropBox folders on my computers and Carol's computer and
iPad. I would consider using it as a
further backup, but the number of GBs I would need to store aren't anywhere
close to free.
