So I should have it soon. I went over board on it, and got over night shipping so I should have it tomorrow. This assumes fedex does not fsck up again. The last 2 things I ordered from apple that were shipped fedex, were not delivered correctly. The first one, was not delivered till a week after the date on their web site. The second time, I was tracking every 10 minutes, and I was at home, and saw on their site it was labled, no one home, the fedex guy never came. I had to call and have him return, again, it listed no one home, the guy probably just wanted a break and lied on the tracking.

I am moving my mail from the old lookout program to evolution. I could not get any method of converting the mail to work, so now I am using my imap server I have access to, to put the mail on it, and copy it down to the evolution program. It will be worth it once the mail is finaly moved over. I think evolution is a better program then all the other ones out there, so I will use it. It could be another late night for since I have about 3 years of email arcived in my mail history. The upload is the slow part, the download is ok, not the greatest but it is ok.

Well the question now is I want to move all my music and Pictures from my iBook to the eMac when it comes, I just wish I did not have to want till the eMac comes, but I think I figured out how to move the music. I found the XML for the Music and the Photos. I think I have the answers; I will not be deleting the data off of the iBook till I am sure that I got the data transported to the new computer safely. I am wondering if I should just do it over a network or copy all the data to my fire wire drive and copy it to the eMac when it comes. This will take some playing with to get it to go, but I believe the answer to copy the raw data files and the XML files and it should work I think. Well as long I keep the data on my iBook I will not have to worry about how to do it. But it looks like I will have to want 10 days till I can try it.

And with the Linux stuff I am playing around to see if I can get my mail files imported to evolution, a good mail client for Linux. If I can do that, I will have that good mail client back. That will put the old Gateway laptop with XP on it, to only Quicken and Palm pilot stuff. Each system in my place will have a job, and a job for each system. Well at lest I will be able to play with a full network with each of the main OS’es on it in my place.
