Several years ago, I decided that I wanted the experience of living in a country other than the one where I had lived all my life up to that point. I didn't want it to be a temporary re-location; I wanted to uproot completely and re-establish myself in a new place. Not only that, but I wanted to leave behind most of the stuff I had accumulated in my life, and take with me only what I could fit in a few suitcases. At that time I did not own a notebook; I used a desktop PC.
One of the items I considered absolutely necessary to take with me for a successful move was my PC. It contained all the important e-mails I had sent and received in my life, as well as my financial records and other critical information. In addition, the PC was how I intended to earn a living in my new home. But the desktop, monitor, keyboard, and mouse were incredibly bulky and heavy and I despaired of being able to transport them safely inside my luggage. The solution was obvious -- I needed to replace my PC with a notebook.
I carefully researched the offerings and found a notebook that suited my needs. Now I needed to turn the new notebook into the functional equivalent of my old PC, by moving all my personal stuff from one to the other.
Using some inexpensive specialized software, I found it was a simple task to move the files from my old PC to my new notebook. Now I could use my notebook for all the same things I had been using my desktop for, and it would fit very comfortably in my carry-on. Since the display, keyboard, and mouse were built in to the notebook, the notebook replaced all of those items as well as the desktop tower. But this was only the first step.
It occurred to me that there were other things that I could put on my notebook, things that didn't come from my desktop -- music, photos, and documents, for example. I was able to load the music from hundreds of CDs, vinyl record albums, and cassettes onto the notebook. I was also able to scan photos that I wanted to keep with me, and documents containing essential information.
It seemed like magic! My notebook was no bigger than it had been when I had bought it brand new, but now it held not only all of the information from my old PC, but also the information from hundreds of CDs, tapes, records, documents, and photos. I couldn't believe the miracle that technology made possible. By taking my notebook with me to my new country, I would be taking a much greater part of my life than I had expected I could. It was like a dream come true.
After several more months of careful planning and preparation, I carried out the move, and it has turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made in my life. It's no exaggeration to say that the notebook made it possible. - 31403
