To burn it to a cd (I can do that if the DVD player will work) - what files did you copy?

Yes I just joined on June 1, had my grand opening on the 6th so I have qualified now and am eligible for the $100 in fall products (I just hope they don't duplicate what I would get from the SAT but beggars can't be choosers). Also I get the free days added to my PWS (as I already purchased it) and I would guess now I am eligible for outside orders and outlet on the PWS. I desperately need supplies, I hope I get some of my PCD I earned soon.

I'm very excited to also be going to NC next week. I highly doubt I can still make Disney a reality so at this point, I guess I'm working hard for free NC registration next year. $200 bucks is $200.

You used the right word....I have been frantic today without exaggeration. You rock!


Make sure you order the business builder package when you order supplies, but I would wait to order the new catalogs at the end of July.

For transferring info....you go to tools in P3 on laptop, choose backup and save in your flash drive or CD.

Take it to desktop, load P3 and choose skip when asked to import. Then go to tools and choose restore. Click on the file on your flash drive or CD.

You can also download P3 from the PC website. I have it on my laptop and desk top. I only use laptop but I can save it to a memory stick (forgot what that little thing is really called) then i can just load it all back on to the desktop. I have learned the hardway several times to back up important or special files (like your kids pictures that never got around to ordering)!

OOps I just realized Jolie said that already, and the little thing is a flash drive, thanks for the remminder!
