[QUOTE="bishopazrael, post: 245174, member: 18964"] To the OP. I'm a PC tech who's done a LOT of switches for people. There are ways to do it fairly easy. You just have to think outside of the box. (before anyone asks how, I'm sorry but I'm in business to make money. Right now since theres no software solution to just drag and drop, my method is part of my business model and I won't give that out. I've gotten referals because of my method working as well as it does.) The one thing that gets me is that if I remember right, you could at one point import the PST file from Outlook on the PC into Entourage on the Mac. Microsoft is the one continually making it harder to get stuff switched over to the Mac. Stepping back a bit, hmmm... theres a thought lurking back in the back of my head and it needs to form better. But its along these lines: People switching are quick to blame apple, but thats only because they're coming from MS. I've pointed this out to clients before when they get frustrated. I ask them, you left Windows for a reason...what was that? "because it was so frustrating..." was the general answer. Well why would you expect them to make leaving their platform any easier? "Oh." Is 99 out of 100 responses. And then they smile as they finally get it. MS those dirty rotten scoundrels. Then I point to the Mac (at which point they've had for at least 1 week) and I ask them, "And how many legit problems have you had with this this week?" And people finally get it, and they're in even more of a rush to dump the windows box. I learned a long time ago, and I'm sure that all here would agree, that NOTHING worth having comes easy. Switching to Mac IS about making your computing life easier, but you WILL have some struggles to get there. Hope this helps. Bishop [/QUOTE]
