Re: [FW1] FW: Merge Object.C

["Tim Holman" <tim_holman@FW1-NOSPAMhotmail.com>]

A more robust method would be to copy the hard drive from old to new
machine, and perform the upgrade on the new machine, leaving the old well
alone until you're happy with the results.
As part of the upgrade, old files are merged with new files, and old data is
ALWAYS kept over new.
