I had a wonderful few days visiting friends in southern Indiana and setting up a network at their rural property where there are outbuildings used for conferences. I went with the latest D-Link b/g/n router over the Apple Airport for cost and the flexibility of a web-based configuration interface for the wireless component of the system.
We also moved over 103,000 emails from Eudora 7 on a Win XP machine to Mac Mail on a new MacBook Pro. This was a bit of a pain. Our original plan was to move to Mac Eudora 6.2 for consistency, but the Eudora help for this process was entirely inadequate, and in places just flat wrong. Eudora 6.2 for OS X still uses OS 9 line endings (CR) for some reason, rather than the LF used by all UNIX based systems. Overall Eudora 6.2 felt like an outdated OS 9 piece of software I thought. The Mail importer, however, worked reasonably well (though slow) on the Eudora message files. Multiple levels of nested mailboxes were retained.
The third-party Eudora Mailbox Cleaner did a good job with the multiple address books, but the Filter->Rules import only imported the name of the filters, not any of the content, which was disappointing.
