A simple and intuitive wizard interface will walk you step-by-step as you prepare for the migration. Once you click "go", simply sit back and relax as Alohabob takes care of all the hard work for you. Automatically transfer everything including programs, data files, email, shortcuts, wallpaper, games, mp3's, photos, bookmarks, settings, and more from your old PC to new PC.

3.0 out of 5 stars Difference with the Ultra Control version, January 16, 2005
AlohaBob PC Relocator is the "lite" version of the award-winning AlohaBob PC Relocator Ultra Control, which is twice as expensive but more useful. I found the following information from alahabob's website (alohabob dot com):

"What are the differences between PC Relocator and PC Relocator Ultra?

The three main key features Ultra offers over the regular version are:
-Custom Migration (ability to pick and choose the applications, settings, and files to transfer to the new PC)
-Support of TCP/IP network migration (via crossover cable, router or existing local network connection)
-Backup to intermediate storage file (allows you to backup your applications, settings, and files and restore at a later time)"

For me #1 was a must, as I had some programs on my old PC that had lots of performance problems, so with those programs, I wanted to start on the new PC from a clean slate. With other programs, I did want to preserve all the settings and user files. #2 was nice to have, since doing a TCP transfer was much faster than over USB. (Be warned, though, that your router might have to be configured to allow the peer networking needed, which could be a pain in the ass depending on your router.)

1.0 out of 5 stars Product Limitations not posted on outside of box!, May 2, 2005
The product installed per instructions. However, when I attempted to transfer files, the product I purchased did not allow selection of specific files to relocate. ALL files had to be relocated! However, if you wanted to be able to select specific files, then you have to buy the ULTRA version (costs twice as much). I feel this limitation of the product should have been clearly stated on the box. I am sending the product back to Eisenworld for a refund.

1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading packaging - took it back for a refund, December 20, 2005
By M. Oldfield (Milford, CT USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I wish I had read the reviews here rather than picking this up on impulse. It absolutely does not state anywhere on the package that this software will ONLY transfer EVERYTHING on one pc to the other. In fact, when you install the software it LOOKS as though you can pick and choose but the check boxes are not responsive - you have to upgrade to the Ultra version to unlock them.
PC Relocator estimated that it would take 124 hours (!!!) to migrate all my files from one PC to the other. I left it running for 8 hours and when I came back it was down to 121 hours! I could manually install everything on the new PC and move across all the files using a 64mb flash drive in a fraction of the time.
I feel totally conned. I read the packaging for this product and another that cost $40 more and this one sounded better. It even had better reviews quoted on the box - they were probably lifted from reviews of the Ultra version. What a lie.
