The new computer came today. About 4 days earlier than I expected (although I knew it was coming yesterday). We're going to swap the current CPU for the new, bigger, badder version and relegate the old PC (about 3-4 years old) to the dining room so the kids have a computer and stop hogging mine.
Now the only problem is the mass amount of data, pics, music, etc that I have on that machine that need to find their way on to the new one. I thought I would have this weekend to start archiving and prepping, but that's just not the case anymore. So I've got to start tonight and it'll probably take me until the weekend to be finished.
Part of the point is so the kids can have their email and IM stuff on a whole other machine, and that machine is clearly visible. On top of that I have to find some kind of monitoring software that can keep tabs on who they talk to and whatnot (yeah, we're evil like that. My advice? Have kids, then judge, non-breeder).
Not to mention that the only way I'm actually going to get all this to work is to network them together. That might require a wireless card for the old PC but the wireless network is acting funky - always has. So I don't know if it's a hardware problem or my house is made out of some kind of stealth-technology.
Good for confusing homing missiles, bad for WLANs.
