Having recently been through a similar process, I agree that this is an excellent checklist, as others have said. I forgot my Thunderbird address book too, so I sympathize! Fortunately, I was able to find it on the backup DVDs I made of the whole system.

When I'd finished, I bought a USB external hard drive enclosure and put the old hard drive in it. If anything else shows up as forgotten, I won't have to reinstall the old PC to get at it. And when finished with, it will make a handy backup device for the new machine. The enclosure was a bargain at about US $12 equivalent from a local computer fair.
