How do you transfer an application... 1743

I have a feeling that Edwin himself have neglected to respond to paragraphs on occasion in the past :)

Whatever do you mean? Obviously he means to keep the application and its preferences in an interim location, which could be anything from a iPod, external hard drive or a CD-ROM. Heck, it could even be a floppy disk - I hear from prominent Windows advocates that it's still the greatest thing for portable media. :)

This would, of course, be trivial on a Mac. Alan wanted to know how hard it would be on a Windows machine. You told him it was impossible unless you buy extra software, but the way you act now implies that this pricey software couldn't even handle a case where you need to reformat and reinstall Windows.

That's not a very successful line of thinking. Obviously Alan didn't pay $1K extra for the privilege of having easily managed applications - that was just a juicy bonus for the presumed price premium he paid for his Mac, which obviously holds values too numerous to mention in a single post other than just application management.

Now now, what's the motive behind this immature personal attack?

Unless, of course, he stores the files somewhere else in the interim - something I'm sure pretty much everyone else managed to figure out.

I'd say he wants to accurately reflect his reaction to what you have posted.
