March 2008 Archives
I used to re-install Windows on a biannual basis. It wasn’t so much that my machine was getting slow but more because I changed hardware pretty frequently. Backing up my files weren’t so much of a pain, but I usually spent a day tinkering with the operating system to get all my settings back to how I liked them.
I recently upgraded to a MacBook Pro and used the Migration Assistant tool to move all my files, settings, and applications from my old MacBook. This took roughly three hours to copy 60GB over gigabit Ethernet. I’ve been using it for a day, and it feels like I never even switched machines. All my hacks are in tact, and I didn’t have to waste any time reconfiguring anything.
