[QUOTE="hari.p, post: 805289, member: 87488"] hello friends, i just joined this forum today. i've been using windows for over 10 years - i'm ok with computers but realise i'm a getting a bit slower when trying to get a hang of new things.. But i'd like to move to Mac. From what i've heard and read it seems to be easier - faster and a more enjoyable environment to work on. I have a tonne of questions - if anybody would be kind to respond to them - would sincerely appreciate. Thank you. 1. I'm using Outlook 2007 - can I transfer :- A Emails B Contacts C Tasks D Notes to Mac OS? * * My emails are in SEVERAL FOLDERS - same thing applies to my contacts - they are in several folders so I wonder how they can be transferred. * * can all this data go to the Mac email / address book programs directly so do i need to get the Mac version of M/soft Office? E-mail i guess should be alright. But how about contacts and tasks? 2. Contacts in Mac OS - does it work better than Contacts in MS Outlook? Again, i'm getting tired of M/soft and would not want to load "Mac Office" so kindly help. I guess by now, you would be aware that i'm not very familiar with the names of programs and terminology of the Mac world so kindly excuse me for this. 3. I dont use word that much - but very heavy user of Excel. My current excel files - is there a native program in Mac similar to excel? - if I email out a mac "excel" file, can it be opened by a windows user? 4. I use voip programs for overseas dialing - can they be used in Mac also? 5. Is there any good program in Mac for storing passwords? 6. I like to frequently update my hardware such as keyboards - mice etc. Is all that stuff compatible to Mac? I usually will use an external monitor / keyboard / mouse for my laptop - does all that work with a Mac laptop? Sorry if some of the questions seem stupid. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
