yeah, I'd go with using your ipod for one last-ditch effort.
I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
OK, I checked out the "switch" page on the apple website, and it looks like I can transfer the files through the ethernet ports. Looks like the best bet, of the options they're showing. I'll give it a try.

Yay Hil! Sounds cool. And I third the recommendation of Adium, I plan to go back to it when I get a new mac...

After trying several programs, I settled happily with Adium as well.

I have some really old speakers , from the eighties or early ninties I think
Yamaha NS-325. Their is not ohmage rating on the speakers and no manuals. A google and ebay search could not find any specs. We are going to have to buy a new radio, since the old one has broken down. Any idea where to get specs so I can tell whether can safely be plugged into our new one.

Those are most likely 8 Ohm speakers.

FWIW, I transferred all my office files from the computer to my new office computer using my ipod when I moved a couple of years back. It worked surprisingly well.
I had about 7-10 Gs worth of files.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
All right, so it looks like that after you've been out of school for a year, they won't let you use the school e-mail account anymore. I've been using school e-mail accounts for seven years now, and I DON'T LIKE CHANGE. But this one is being forced on me.
I do have a Gmail account, but I'm not really keen on the interface. I could get used to it since it seems to be the popular choice, but a major concern I have is that it doesn't seem to have IMAP support. This is how I like using my mail:
1. I keep Outlook Express open all the time. This keeps the program where I want it on the taskbar.
2. At work (or anywhere else I'm not at home), I check my e-mail through the web. Receive, send, everything. I've never even bothered to set up an address book online; I just wait till I get home if I need an address.
3. When I get home, all my e-mails are sitting in my Outlook Express inbox, already marked as read, so I just move them into their proper archive folders.
4. Sent mail from OE is automatically stored on the server; I archive it monthly. I CC sent mail from the webmail since it doesn't automatically go into the Sent Items folder.
5. At home, OE checks e-mail every five minutes, and I read and move into its respective archive folder.
What's the best (free) way for me to continue with the status quo?

Do you have email through your internet provider? That would likely work with OE.
