"When it comes to the future of moving, we know exactly which way to go!"

Computers –

If you have the original packing box for your computer or electronic, this offers the best choice for moving

1. Coil and secure wiring to televisions and electronics before moving
2. Make backup copies of your data files (store in a fire proof lock box)
3. Remove all floppy discs and replace with cardboard discs or an old floppy disc – close the drive door
4. “Park” the recording heads to hard-discs – IBM and most hard-disc clones include a program SHIPDISK.EXE that will park the heads
5. Remove ink cartridges from ink jet printers and insert a paper in the platen to secure the print head for pin printers

CD Players –

1. Remove all CDs from the player
