First dws, good luck. It's always hard to move after you get comfortable, even if it's comfortable in sh!t (I know full well what this frame of mind can be like).

As an aside, I've always made monthly or bimonthly backups to cd of ALL my work. I understand that this is intellectual property (both mine and my companies), but what is peoples take on just taking your backups with you when you go? Should we be allowed to 'reference' old material as we develop new code? No two applications are the same, but, let's face it, many of us are coding for portability and reusability.
