[RTTY] AW: [WriteLog] Win98->Win XP?

[Barry]

I agree with Chris. I went thru the new computer Win98->XP 
transition several months ago. While there are a few software 
options to move programs, I found none satisfactory. One, as I 
recall, will copy everything, without letting you deselect stuff you 
don't want. Another will copy 10-20 "major apps" (MSOffice, IE, 
etc.) but nothing else. I guess Wayne didn't have enough pull to get 
WL included in the major app category :.)
Bottom line, it was well worth the afternoon or so selectively 
reinstalling just what I wanted, and not transferring a bunch of junk 
or outdated programs. With several of the apps I did transfer, there 
were ways to copy/export the personalization I made on the old 
computer, with a little editing here and there (DX4WIN, WL, IE 
bookmarks, Quicken files, etc.) OTOH, there were a few programs I 
tried to install on WinXP that just wouldn't work.
