New Acer up and running ....:)

The new Acer came in from Amazon yesterday via Fed X right on time and I've been busy setting her up.  I'd forgotten how much of a pain it can be, especially getting programs transported over that were purchased (in some cases) years ago.  An interesting note is that when you purchase software on-line, many times they use your e-mail address as the User ID....so if you've lost or misplaced the password for that account to re-download, they'll reset it but send the information to the Email on record.  If you've changed email address's and NOT kept the old one active where you have access to it I can see where they'd be major problems. Another issue is programs that were OEM on the replaced PC.  In my case, Microsoft Works had come OEM on the Toshiba.  There's no way to transfer that program over to the new Acer :(.  Luckily M.S. Office will open the spreadsheets and data base's I'd set up on Works...just a matter of getting used to it.
I can feel the technology improvement from the new machine over the old....everything is faster, with better loading.  Personally I didn't have too many issues with Vista but, that having been said, Windows 7 is much slicker for sure.
