I know, I know, you’re thinking “here we go again…” But I don’t think so. o) Two months ago I got so fed up with virus problems on my PC, that I snapped and placed an order for an iMac. Of course, you knew the fever would strike me again right? This shouldn’t be a surprise by now. But once again, about 4 months later, I started using the PC again. It allowed me to easily convert my 15,000 emails in Outlook to a format that Apple’s mail.app could import. And Problem #2 was solved by using a great little $10 program called Outlook2Mac. Problem #1 from the last try was no longer an issue since I had upgraded to a new Direcway modem that used Ethernet instead of USB. So, without much real effort, I threw in the towel and sold the laptop.įast forward to April of 2004 when almost 2yrs to the day that I bought my first Apple laptop, I decided at the spur of the moment to try again and buy another one: a 4 month old 15″ aluminum Powerbook from a friend. There wasn’t an easy way to do this, and I didn’t want to start over. Problem #2 had to do with moving my huge Microsoft Outlook email archive over to the Mac. Since I had to keep a PC around to access the internet, it was way too easy to just use the PC for everything and neglect the Powerbook. What happened? Problem #1 was the fact that my Direcway satellite ISP at the time only had a USB modem which was not compatible with the Mac. Before the Summer sun barely had time to cool down, I had already sold it and was back in the land of Microsoft. Unfortunately the romance turned out to be a very short fling. Once it arrived, I was completely in love. A friend at work had given me a demo of his Titanium Powerbook, and it wasn’t long after that I placed my own order for a G4 TiBook. My Windows to Mac OS X odyssey started way back in the Spring of 2002, during the heyday of Apple’s Switch campaign.
