New Tablet on the Way!

I should have a new Acer TMC204TMI today or tomorrow. Unfortunately, I won't be home to take a picture of the delivery man walking up the driveway with it (a la Rob Bushway).

It is time to send the Averatec off to have some maintenance done before determining it's final fate.

Steps to setting up the new tablet.

1. back up documents on old tablet to usb hd
2. back up downloads on old tablet to usb hd
3. run belarc advisor on old tablet, create pdf copy to usb hd
4. install Partition Magic on new tablet
5. repartition tablet (100 gig drive - 5 20 gig partitions, xp boot, office & documents, apps & utilities, development and reserved for Vista Beta Boot)
6. Install SystemWorks 2006 Premier
7. Install ZoneAlarm
8. Update SystemWorks on Web
9. Run Microsoft Update
10. Ghost the boot drive to have a point in time restore
11. Burn restore to dvd
12. Copy the documents and downloads to the new tablet from the usb drive
13. reset documents folder
14. start installing the apps - MS Office first so I can get to the spreadsheet with my registration codes

This should take me a good chunk of time.
