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)!
