Blah. I had to move last week. Went from a nice big place with 3 roommates (coworkers, all sacked with me in a recent company "restructuration") to my mom's house.Although she's very sweet and kind and I absolutely have no problem with her, it's still my mom  Anyways, I didn't had a lot of stuff but it took me forever to prepare the stuff to be moved. In fact, I only had one piece of furniture to move. Everything else were small box stuffings. My computer (a laptop) with thousand of cables & useful peripherals, dozens and dozens of posters & wallscrolls & paintings, books, CDs, CD-ROMs, CD-R, CD-RW, Paper-stuff, junk, junk and more junk. Took me about a day simply to clean-up stuff and pack things together. Then, it all went in two cars. Not much, like I said... All f*!???@%%ng junk stuff! Have a nice day

/me shakes his head in disbelief... Mmmm... So... if I understand well, your computer is so huge it must me moved by a TRUCK?  My father used to have one of these, a SuperNova 1200, complete with the perforated paper strips for Fortran and Basic, a paper pucher/reader, a fast optical (oooh) reader, A good 16 bit AD/DA converter, some oscilloscope that served as a graphical output for math calculations... mmm... ah yeah, a Teletype (mmmm, 110 bauds) and some kind of thingie to correct electricity problems. Had to be 4 to be able to lift it. :P Have a nice day

I am in the middle of moving again. This is going to be the third time in less than a year for me. But my being less than financially stable hasn't helped matters much either.Oh, and hi to anyone who could possibly remember me. -------------------- email: paige@budweiser.com

It wasn't a ankward choice of wording, simply a ankward situation...  Mmmmm... 386/SX with a lot of airflow 
One of the worst moving I was ever involved in was my uncle's one. He had a great big house with a straight piano on the 2nd floor. The movers were supposed to be able to move pianos. Yeah right. At least no one got killed. Hurt, that's another story. All our family who was there to help, we decided to go outside and wait, saying that they had insurances and that we wouldn't want to be there when one of the boys would get squished by the 600lbs piano. They screamed for about 30 minutes, we heard big noises, everything... but they managed to make it go down the stairs. Of course, the (soft wood) stairs were all scraped, the walls were almost destroyed at some places, the window in the stairway was all destroyed, the piano had bruises all over it's body and the movers themselves were as good as dead. They 'managed' to finish the moving, don't ask me how. We are 100% sure they didn't made another moving in the following 2 weeks, as their muscles must be bruised and torn. With pain releivers, they were barely able to support themselves, even with all the adrenalin pumping in their bloodstream, so we must imagine 3 hours after.
Have a nice day

We are packing to move in a few weeks. Sucks when you have 9 computers, 4 monitors & a ton of computer parts. Plus the stereos & tvs... The rest is a breeze. Well except the china and crystal. -------------------- ...

I hate moving. . . that's all I'm going to say on the subject. Although, when I moved away from family, the first thing I did was set up my comp. . . then, as an afterthought, I remembered to unpack the rest of my stuff. It was the exact reverse when I lost my job and had to move back with the family.-------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.
