I bought my dad a mac mini -- he's got a pitiful IBM stinkpad that's over 6 years old and outta gas.
Since I'll be doing the switchover, I was looking at the current recommendations for migrating PC to Mac in the most efficient manner possible (as this will occur over T'giving and I'd rather not spend the whole break being IT-guy).
Saw an article on the Belkin Switch To Mac cable/software and man, it sure sounds like the bomb-diggity -- including the elusive Outlook to Mail conversion.
Anybody have any real world experience with this thing?
MSRP is $50, but you can get it from Mac Mall for $23 shipped. I'm probably going to gamble -- $23 to save hours of manual transfer is probably worth the gamble, but if there are significant issues it would be nice to know in advance.
