[Magdalen] transfer from one computer to another advice (Brian?)

[Charles Wohlers]

Last summer I got a new Thinkpad and used PCMover to transfer stuff from 
the old laptop (actually its hard drive) to the new one. It took awhile 
but everything went fine and was all done automagically. Only thing I 
lost was my email and FTP passwords which Lastpass doesn't keep track 
of. If you don't use PCMover and do it manually, you'll be in for a lot 
of very long and tedious work. PCMover is (INHO) kind of expensive, 
considering you can use it only once. But it does save an enormous 
amount of time and aggravation.
