It looks like the best way to migrate my data back to the old Air is gonna be to delete my old user account on it, then use the Migration Assistant to pull the latest Pro backup off of Time Machine.

I just created a new admin account and hit the delete button on my old account in the Users and Accounts prefs. It took like two minutes for it to decide to react and bring up the “are you sure you wanna delete this account” dialogue. It probably would have taken a lot longer if a Dropbox accident had not deleted all my working files off this old machine at some point after I switched to the Pro, as it’s telling me how much space I’d need to save a copy of the account. I wonder how long it will take to delete it...

Oh nice I deleted the old data in the eight minutes it took me to tap out a reply to another toot on the tablet. Yay. Now to migrate those backups.

I bet this is gonna take a while. Time to slouch in the living room and watch some of the goofy anime I rented for the forthcoming Snowpocalypse.

Which may have begun; it’s snowing outside.

This is definitely gonna take a while. Guess I’m not getting any art done today.

Oh dear. My user folder is about 700 gigs and there is only about 500 gigs on the old Air’s entire drive.

This will not end well unless your MacAir can expand...
