Definitely go with the Dell software. Anytime you are dealing with a
proprietary computer, like a Dell, trying to migrate programs from one hard
drive to another can be a daunting if not impossible task without their
proprietary software package.

Subject: [PCBUILD] New laptop purchase
Hello-
We are contemplating purchasing a laptop. I currently have a Gateway 500 PC
from 1998 and it's getting tired and ornery. It's been doing some funky
things lately and we're afraid it's days are numbered.
Since my husband and I are planning to retire shortly and do some traveling,
we're opting to replace the PC with the laptop. A Dell Inspiron 1505 has
been recommended. We would like to upgrade to Vista eventually (is Microsoft
the way to go?). We do e-mailing, word processing, and have many pictures
that we are currently storing. We'd like to transfer them to CDs, a
capability that we now lack. In retirement, we may expand our usage of
computer capabilities. My husband is slowly increasing his gaming
expertise.
Also, Dell wants to sell me a program for $56 that supposedly facilitates
transfer of data from my old PC to the new laptop. Is there a more
efficient, less expensive way to do that?
Any specifications I should absolutely have? I'm not looking for minimum
components. We'd like this to be something that will adapt to the
fast-changing computer world in as much as one can predict today. On the
other hand, we don't want to be getting frills that we'll never use.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
