I actually recently transferred all my stuff from my working, but unbearably slow--old laptop to a shiny new one. What worked for me was creating a backup of all my documents on my external hard drive (which holds about... 400 gigs?) and then just copying that to my new computer. I also had saved some of the executable install files for the programs I wanted to use on my new computer on my external hard drive and transferred them over for easy installation as well.

And voila, seamless transition. Anything I forgot, I just downloaded off the internet again (like an updated version of X or Y program).

all of my external hard drives have died on me. I've gone through three. it's really sad. ;.;
