Migrate my life.

For those of you that don't already know, I work on my computer. Yes, that's right, I spend time on my computer and have found myself amassing quite the grip of files, settings, applications, documents, passwords, pictures, movies, conversations, e-mails, and client archives. So, when my computer starting acting up like nobody's business, I quickly made a clone of my hard drive and then went about trying to fix the remainder. The next time I started my computer - it broke. Forever. The hard drive had to be replaced (thank the heavens for AppleCare, it didn't cost me a dime) and I was given my PowerMac G5 back with a clean slate. I became worried. If anyone has ever gone through setting your computer back up to how you had it before, it never works as planned. You forget programs, files, the speed of your mouse, which icon goes before which in the dock, etc. Well, thanks to the Apple Migration Assistant, it went without a hitch. Perfect. My applications still work, my e-mail settings work, my dock is the same size, and the Stewie widget that I have on my desktop still releases his pithy banter on request. I am so glad I have a Mac, backed up my files, and had such a smooth recovery.
