Ordered at the local reseller early Feb and got here on April 16th.
The work included a new carving of the Hebrew alphabet - that works great, and some Hebrew code installation.

A brand new switcher from the PC laptop arena is born.

also new in this aspect:
Being a video editor - I got the machine installed with Final Cut Pro 3 so the the first commercial TV spot (at least in Israel) will be edited next month in the director's office on that machine (plugged to the local monitor)

PS - does anyone know of the best resources for switching from outlook to ical, addresbook and Mail

Congrats on switching & getting your machine!!!

And that's extremely cool that you'll be editing a TV Commercial with your new PowerBook, incredible!!

As for transferring your email onto the Mac, here's how you can do it:

a.) Set up a POP3 account on my mail server and sent myself several e-mails, some with attachments some without.

b.) Set up Outlook Express in Windows XP to use that POP3 account and downloaded the mail.

c.) Copied the "Outlook Express" folder at "CDocuments and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{string-of-numbers}\Microsoft" to my Mac.

d.) Used Emailchemy (program found here) to convert the mail to Apple Mail.app format (I used the Outlook Express Windows Wizard from the Wizards menu)

e.) Copied the resulting mailboxes to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes and re-launched Mail.app. (This step could be replaced by simply setting the output directory to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes instead of copying it there afterwards, I recommend doing this [close Mail.app first]).

If you have any further questions, just post!

Heh, this will work, except it costs money, which is a bad thing.
