So, Cindee, you are in good shape.  Assuming that you follow HP's kind
suggestion (letting HP manage your migration), your partial migration
will only be three million eight hundred and fifty thousand (and your
complete rewrite will only be twenty-nine million eight hundred and
fifty thousand).

Don't fall for all the negativity floating around.  There are positive
aspects :-)


Positively yours,
