[Rhodes22-list] computer clarification

[ed kroposki]

Michael,
	I have been thinking of getting a new box (cpu, hard drive,
etc).  I have just been putting it off.  I want AMD's new 64 bit
processor or a board with parallel processing.  But I have to take the
wife for her vacation first. 
	I have cleaning programs for the temps.  The volume of files on
my system is over 200,000.  As previously mentioned, I can manually
clean some duplicates by comparing them against each other and the last
used date.  However, that takes a lot of time.
              Ed K

so if I got it right, you overlay to old drive image onto the the
newhard drive, then reinstall some programs, thier is a good
chance a cleaning program will get very confussed by this and end up
trashing the system, the problem is the program will need to
know what is the correct version of files for each software package,
very chancy at best. Now the cleaners might buy some space by
cleaning out know temp. but money might be better spent just getting a
80gig drive, copying the old drive to it and then replace it,
(80$+-), most new drives come with bootable disk to disk copy
floppy(read the box). alot safer and less headaches.
