Wish I'd made the move last time I updated but the unknown can be frightening, even when everyone says "Come on in!" Nice to know you're there for my personal support team... and nice to know that my data can move with me.

Who wants to do that? I'm ticked off at MS right now due to the fact that they decided not to update my Office 2003 anymore (after 3 years of it being okay)...saying my key is no longer acceptable to them.CMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946336431994312623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17649128.post-21305500020920246352007-06-14T11:14:00.000-05:002007-06-14T11:14:00.000-05:00All Macs now will run MS stuff under Windows XP.

Like my ol' man, however, you're likely to find yourself seldom bothering to boot up that side.<BR/><BR/>Transferring stuff from a Windows computer to Mac OS (or from one Windows computer to another Windows machine) isn't great fun, but once you get there (and you can), and get settled on Mac, you won't have to worry again. Should you later upgrade to a newer Mac, you just connect one to the other and let 'em rip. Everything transfers without effort.<BR/><BR/>The nightmare John notes is a PC thing.<BR/><BR/>Key: all Macs now have capacity to run Windows in addition to Mac OS; so your ability to transfer anything will be the same as if you were to transferring it to a new Windows machine.<BR/><BR/>Have fun, Karen.<BR/><BR/>MMCMMComstockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04985362316567184979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17649128.post-15883171975506951052007-06-13T11:26:00.000-05:002007-06-13T11:26:00.000-05:00Trying it trasfer Any MS data (Access etc) to MAC ...Trying it trasfer Any MS data (Access etc) to MAC can be a nightmare and may not work at all.

You know how long that lasted when I got busy :>/<BR/>Anyway...knowing nothing about Mac's, I figure that you would have to look up what format the Mac database you choose needs to import and then export the existing database in a suitable format.<BR/>That's what I had to do when I went from Works to Access a long time ago. You'd think MS would have made it easier since they made both programs.CMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946336431994312623noreply@blogger.com
