Transfering Data

Hello All,

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might find a competent &
trustworthy person to transfer my files from one computer to another?

I live in the San Francisco, Ca area.

Thanks much,
Emmy

If your not computer savvy, get someome to temporarily "slave" the hard
disc from one PC to the other machine. This involves tinkering with both
PCs' innards, so it's not something novices should attempt. However, it is
straightforward: once you've removed the old drive simply change its
"jumpers" to the slave setting, then connect it to the new PC's spare data
and power leads. When it boots up it should automatically recognise the
second drive and you can copy folders and files directly to the other
drive.
