these are great ideas, thanks.

yea, i decided, out of simplicity sake, to just take the old hard drive, and install it as a slave drive on my new puter. so far so good.

i'm sure the networking could have probably worked, but i have seen studios with 2, 3 or even more computers, and it just gets too complicated, and slows down the creative process. more isnt always better.

i'm still thinking about setting up the old computer, with a new harddrive, as a backup system, that could be good...
