Well, I've been at it for one day (part of Saturday and Sunday) and have one more day (tomorrow, Monday) to go. Progress has been excellent. Jamesons imbibed only for purely social reasons. Frankly, touch wood, I'm stunned at how things have been going.

Still to go:
1) Transfer of Sr.'s documents from old to new computer.
2) Setup of second monitor from old computer to new computer.
3) Setup of printer/fax/scanner from old computer to new computer.

I have to say the process has been quite smooth. Set up of computer went fine. Updates to system and re-installed MS Office 2007 didn't really take all that long. Not a whole lot of garbage software on the new computer. Outlook transfer was painless (finding the darn .pst files was a bit of chore).

One big thing. We ended up staying with Norton. Long story short, Sr. is not too interested in patched together options. After reviewing the install / setup and now using the computer over the past days, I haven't really found it all that intrusive or slowing down the (admitted new) machine. While I know everyone said dump it, I'd appreciate any ideas to make it even less of system hog and less obtrusive day-to-day.
