My parents extended that to "I'm busier than a one-armed paper hanger with hives!"

One of my Computer Science professors back in the late '80s had the memorable quote: "Be wary of anyone who refers to Fortran77 as 'the new Fortran'." :cool:

I'll strongly second the second. It's amazing how much stuff from your old machine you think you'll need, but you won't. At least, that's been my experience. The only thing I'd add would be to make sure you have a full backup of all personal files from the old laptop. Personally, I'm comfortable with them on OneDrive or Google Drive (both companies know everything about me already). Then, start fresh on the new machine and just pull files down as needed. It is a very freeing experience.

As a general rule, I try to follow these steps in order: 1. Make the program run right. 2. Make the program run right. 3. Make the program run right. 4. If I really need to, make it faster.
