**TIMELY** Have you or one of your clients experienced a significant and measurable life transformation? [Note: Deadline is Monday]

Tipped off by Ben Dean of MentorCoach.com, I've learned that Charles Duhigg, an award-winning reporter with the New York Times is looking for interviews for a major project on the topic of transformation.

Have you changed your life deeply, either personally or professionally or both?

Perhaps you've transformed your career or found success after struggling for many years. Many the transformation in your life is more in the order of a lifestyle change.

Or, maybe the above points have brought to mind clients, friends or family for whom these are true.

Whatever the case may be, I strongly encourage you to visit the below link to find more details including a short audio link with the journalist himself, and submit your story if appropriate.

In the words of MentorCoach.com's Head Coach:

"What Charles is is doing here is an upbeat, positive reporting project designed, he hopes, to illuminate the change process. His work on this project could conceivably be published in the NYT in a series, and /or the NYT Sunday Magazine, on the website, and quite possibly as a book."

Hypothetical Question: If two trains leave the station at the same time, one travelling at 50 mph, and the other at 75 mph...what happens when a cat crosses the tracks 3 miles from the station in 10 minutes?

Answer: Nothing.

Real Question: If I want to access data on an old laptop that (1) no longer has internet access (2) has no floppy drive (3) is on Windows 98 which doesn't support a SanDisk Mini Cruzer (4) won't read my printer driver CD....

How can I get the data off without retyping everything by hand or buying an attachable floppy or other equipment?

Notes:

- The data really is worth the effort. It's covers my work from 2000 to end of 2003. Enough said.

- SanDisk has a small driver I can download from the Internet to install on the computer, that makes it possible to use SanDisk with Win 98. But I don't have a way to get the driver onto the laptop...

- For some reason I can't figure out, I can't save data to any CDs I try.

Options, all of which feel like a Royal Pain, isn't there an easier way?

- Reinstate connectivity to the internet. It's doesn't have wireless so I need to find a cable and probably jig around with IP addresses.

- Network my two laptops somehow and theoretically just drag and drop the data to my new laptop.

Sigh. I seem to know enough to know it should be easy, and that's it.

Any suggestions or helpful folk willing to help detangle this knot? Reward: Really cool data released from captivity equals some cool new blog posts that include graphs and case studies...
