Smile Tomorrow is the big day!

Yes tomorrow is the day that I take best buy's display back and get the new fresh 21.5 iMac and I will be walking out with a big smile on my face. I am now taking off all of my information on the old apple computer right now and saving it to cds (I have like 15 cds so far and I am still going) LOL! I am just picking up the computer tomorrow I may pick up an apple remote but other than that just the computer. I am going to be pretty busy tomorrow so I won't have much time to post about how things went I will up early saturday morning posting about everything. IS there anything a fellow EIC member should know before going into the store? Thanks

Yeah - make sure your zipper ain't hanging wide open.

Instead of saving it to CD's, why not just do a time machine back up to an external drive and restore from that? If you insist on disks, why not use DVD's?

Hard Drives as so cheap now, especially compared to what they used to be.
