Is there an easy way to transfer saved e-mails from one e-mail provider to another?
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

I do use the options on my digital camera, but they are a pain. And Manual would be used a whole lot more if there were knobs and dials instead of menus.
There's a kind of muscle memory that happens when I use by SLR for the first time in a while. Sometimes my fingers start adjusting the dials before my brain has remembers where the dials are.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Random question -- I have a ~4 year old Dell laptop that doesn't work all that well. Would someone buy it for parts? If so, how much would they pay? It's just occurred to me that instead of having it sit in my living room, I could try to sell it on craigslist.

All is well that ends in pizza.
You might eve be able to sell it to a fellow Buffista.
What are the specs, or at least model number, if you can? That will let us know what it's worth.

I can guarantee you it's not worth shipping. It freezes up all the time.

I don't know how much you know about computers, but sometimes a freezing problem can be fixed through software, or with just one new component like a hard drive or memory or a video card. I know the first two are generally swappable on notebooks, I'm not sure about the third.

I replaced the whole thing already, anyway, but thanks.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
they just transfer my old numbers into the new phone
Not quite. I had to replace my phone last year, and what Sprint did was generate a paper print-out of my address book. I had to re-enter all the information by hand.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It will depend on the phones. You could beam everything from one to the other.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I moved last August (Motorola phone) and I had to spend about 10-15 minutes saving all my phone numbers to the phone, not the card, so I could keep all the numbers. That was a pain. So if I remember, I try to save my numbers to my phone.
Of course, when I get a new phone (probably next year), I'll have to save all the numbers to the card!
