So I finally got around to buying an external hard drive: 160GB at Best Buy for $79.99 (it was over $100 at Circuit City).
Because my old laptop didn’t have USB 2.0, it took about 3 hours to transfer my approximate 8GB My Documents folder to the hard-drive. Most of that is, of course, music and pictures.
I’m transferring the My Music folder now (which is just about 7GB, the majority of my My Documents folder). On my new laptop, with a USB 2.0 device, the transfer is taking a grand total of only 7-8 minutes.
That sucks… but I really like my new computer for it, lol.
