You may be asking yourself, why would anyone be going from a Mac back to a PC. I mean that's going back into the big market share. Maybe it's for the artists who gave up, but not many are doing it. I could not find a tool that would import an Entourage .rge file into Microsoft Outlook 2007. I found some tools to read .rge files on a mac. Oh and you can transfer your contacts via a tab delimited text file. What about e-mail? Oh you can copy it to the file system and loose all you formatting. I guess this just goes to show that the market for users converting their e-mail from Entourage to Outlook is small which means Macs must be catching up. Or it means that no one uses Entourage, which seems more likely since Macs are so yahoo and gmail friendly.
Why am I moving machines around anyway? Well I'm going to embark on some XCode programming. I've never written anything for the Mac before, but it's shiny brushed aluminum surface calls to me. And in actuality, I really just want to make an iPhone app. The AppStore Mr. Jobs is talking about launching just sounds so simple, so elegant, so mac. It opens in June which is plenty of time to put together a workable app.
