If they both have ethernet ports you can hook an ethernet cable between them and use file sharing to copy files across. Check out [link] .
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

le n, it's about having spent all I can...wanting to get it done now, etc.
Not to mention, I will need to add more memory to the mini and the geniuses tell me that for the first time in my computing life, I can't make that upgrade myself.
It's pretty frustrating, no lie.
It makes sense that I get one eventually, but right now it's just not the highest priority.

ROB! *\ o /*
You are fast becoming my favorite tech support!!
I DO have an ethernet cable but I haven't used it for about 9 years.
I'm off to study the tutorial. Cheers!

WOE. The Tivo played almost all of an episode of Top Chef Masters before crashing again.
Either I need to send this thing to Weaknees, or I need to buy a new one. Neither of which are options I can even remotely afford. Fuck.

Even with the ethernet connection...super tedious.
Being on one system for a very long time...at least in my life...leads to a lot of junk.
Deciding what to actually move is proving problematic.

Why not let the migration assistant move everything? The new box must have way more space than the old one.

I'm having trouble getting the assistant to work. I've got to read a tutorial for that!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So, the Tab doesn't charge with a standard charger with the screen on. Do other devices charge faster from a Tab charger, our is the device the limiting factor? Also, if I'm shipping blind, what are the specs the Tab requires? The Touchpad has different requirements too, right? Are there many other devices that can't "make do"?

Rob, and other Mac folk, have any of you added memory to a mac mini?
Everyone I've spoken to so far says 'don't go there!' it's too complicated, you'll get hurt, you'll break it, etc.
I watched a tutorial yesterday that shows it is definitely more in depth than it used to be, but not THAT difficult.
The only thing I don't have is a non-static surface.
Am I being too ambitious?
Having Apple add 8mg would cost me $240...doing it myself will be about $50.
