LIVE THE iLIFE.
I tired to like iLife. I did. iMail, iCal, Address Book....the army of apps was supposed to eliminate Microsoft Outlook and Entourage. But I never trusted it. Many, many, many hours of my life were spent tranferring data back and forth between apps. I found iMail too slow...and I didn't like the idea of needing to open 3-4 apps, when all you needed was one from Microsoft.
But 3rd times a charm and I am now happily (knock on wood) a convert. I think with the new Intel CoreDuo chip, the iLife apps are really smooth and responsive. The Import/Export fearture is a snap as well. The ability for iCal to publish and broadcast your calendar is simply amazing.
The one major downfall? If you had a lot of "groups" in Entourage, iMail will not import them. It will import the email accounts, it just won't categorize them into groups, so you need to redo that whole tedious process all over again. For now, I keep Entourage around just in case I need to send to those groups.

"tired" to like iLife. oh and to quote a good friend of mine "nobody cares"!
I think this is a better email client for osx www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/email_chat/mozillathunderbird.html
for the record, it's Mail, not iMail. That's all.
why knock on wood? does wood have power? i never got that superstition. hopefully 2006 will be the year ppl stop knocking on wood.
you must not have had the great fortune of entourage crashing on you and losing all your emails because of it's tired ass single gigantic database of everything that it keeps (not fun).
stick with it, I made the switch about 6 months ago and love it!
keep it up with the blog / etc.
Damn Jeff
You have been busy since the Marlboro days. I was referred to this site by a former attendee of Marlboro High, and thought you would have maybe posted some old drawings of Secretariat and Mark, or maybe spoke of the glories of clamming with your own rake as told by Leroy Harvey. Oh well, the site is dope, even without those items (maybe for the future, hehhe). Hope all is well man
