Nice to see this forum is so active

Hi Ryanizme, what's new?

 

[tango]

Did you get a lot of candid shots?

One of my favorite shots that was fun at the reception was our little ring bearer hula hooping! Adorable!

Not overly many, a few of children playing with balloons but candid pictures of the adults are tricky with a honking great camera setup.

Good morning

Got my new computer yesterday. Up and running with Linux installed. Now comes the large task of moving and organizing massive amounts of data so it can easily be found, then trying out vBox and Wine to see what old Windows programs will run under it.

When I got my new laptop after Christmas I moved my files but using the cloud but something got lost and I lost some of my solo instrumentals for church (not mine but mine that I sing) and now have to go back to the old computer and find them. I'm disappointed because I wanted to give the music to someone. Double check that all your files transfer correctly!

Thanks. I can't see myself using the net to transfer data, though - wouldn't trust it with some of the work I have stored. I have well over 1.5 Terabytes of free space even counting old operating systems still installed (which apparently is needed for virtual box - dunno - still new at this), so I don't need to use a service like that. One very nice thing about Linux I've noticed though is that it's file allocation system recognizes files on a Windows file table, but Windows doesn't recognize files on a Unix based file system. This means I can still access any files I happen to overlook and may find the need for later.

I tried loading my very old Cakewalk program yesterday with Linux using Wine - and it worked. This program won't work under Windows 7. That being said - for all the years I used it, I've sort of become partially accustomed to MuseScore.

Anyway, still using Windows (like I am at the moment to type write this), but gradually everything will be switched over and I'll only use it if I feel I need it. Having it on a completely separate computer saves the hassle of dual boot and any problems that may arise from that.

No chance of me losing files. I still have the hard drive from an old machine that usedto run Windows 98.

I put the new version of MuseScore on my laptop when I got it at Christmastime and absolutely love it!! It has some functions that I didn't see on previous versions. Now to find my music!

How would one go about transferring all the email and other communication settings from one's desktop PC to a windows tablet or laptop or even to a chromebook. I think that one's google settings follow when you set up an existing account on the new device but how would one go about transferring the setups themselves?

I don't do anything for Google since it's not on my system but online.

There's probably an answer on google somewhere

 

[Lamb]

Yep Google it!

I know there are settings if you have Microsoft Outlook download your Gmail emails but I don't do that.

Can't, sorry.

I have the text saved somewhere, but as of this moment I can't even remember what I wrote.
