ffuturesAKA the problem with photos...
....is that I'm now backing up 64,366 of them to a USB drive. A LOT of those are pictures from eBay listings which I intermittently try to delete once the items have been sold - I think the last time I did this I was up to roughly the 400th directory out of nearly 3000. I can't just delete the lot because there are family photos in there too, and other pictures that I want to keep, while selective deletion takes a lot of time. It's easier just to copy the lot and putting them onto the new computer. I am, in other words, solving this problem by not solving it, and postponing the next round of deletion indefinitely.
Good thing the new computer has a 1TB SSD and 2TB HD!
