Michael, >>>Why not a simple hardrive plug in positioned at the front of the computer to transfer the entire old hardrive into your new one? The OS could include the necessary software and automatically partition it for you. <<<

Great idea. Keep it simple. No partitions. Maybe like a docking station where you could also plug in a second hard drive. Do backups by copying the hard drive. Who has the time to backup to tape or Zip drives? And who does it properly, anyway? I'll bet a lot of people attempt backups but give up after a while because it can't really be done (right now).

You can't let the engineers like Engels and the other super techies design these things. They think things like anyPOINT is user friendly. No way. I don't want to have to read a manual. I just want to plug a device into my PC or vice versa - nothing more.
