I am also having problems porting my address book over as well. I've been typing them in a few at a time. Ugh.

Do you know what the third party software name is, BK?

What an interesting day. I spent quite some time setting up the Mail program on the MacBook - now all my AOL mail from my various addresses goes into the Mail program, where it is very simple to access, respond, AND save without ever having to log on to AOL. The only downside is one cannot port over the AOL address book, although I gather there is third party software that enables you to do that. So far Mail is working very well and I'm very happy I finally did it - thanks to Jose.

You're welcome, bk.

As for a third party program, well... There are a couple of them out there. Just Google "AOL address book export". However, none of them are foolproof, and many of them require you to compose a mail message by filling the "To:" field with your address book, then saving that as a text file, then saving that as a spreadsheet/limited form...

Eh...

A semi-easier way is just to save an e-mail address into your Address Book whenever you receive an email. Although, bk, if you used "Constant Contact" you should already have a mailing list that you can save as a address book directory file.

Is there anything out there that will transport your address book from windows to a mac? I tired the comma and the other method (can't think of it now) but neither worked.

Hmm... A text field - with the commas - should work. Mac's Address Book can import three different types of address book files. Did you try all three?

No more being able to drive with you on the bus to work.

Listening to a very nice new film score by Alexandre Desplat - The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button.

G'night to you also DR TCB!

Well, how 'bout I sit here at my home computer with a cup of coffee while you're on the bus?

Just realized that I'm exhausted - 'night!

I guess I'll finish the motion picture I began last night.

Why is everyone just sitting there like so much fish?

I went shopping after work but then the roads started icing over so I am now home.

Netflix delivered two motion pictures on DVD...WALL-E and a 1967 Israeli comedy. I may watch one of the other tonight.

MBarnum · « **Reply #378 on:** December 19, 2008, 07:35:37 PM »

Or I might watch the French spy spoof

Jennifer · « **Reply #379 on:** December 19, 2008, 07:49:46 PM »

I watched GHOST WHISPERER. Very good episode tonight. The story with jim and melinda gets more and more interesting.

I skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. No Luke but he and Noah were in next week's previews looking very compatible.

Matt H. · « **Reply #382 on:** December 19, 2008, 08:02:58 PM »

Next, I watched a couple of the bonus feature documentaries on the REAR WINDOW second disc. OK, but it's good I already knew my Hitchcock since one of them gives away many of the secrets in his films.

Then I chose my HD-DVD viewing for the evening: LUCKY NUMBER SLEVIN. What a clever, involving little puzzler this was. Really enjoyed it. I also watched the alternate ending (which is more downbeat), and I have to say that I preferred it to the theatrical version.

Matt H. · « **Reply #384 on:** December 19, 2008, 08:05:43 PM »

Next, I put in a movie I've been meaning to revisit for months but hadn't gotten around to doing it: THE SUM OF ALL FEARS. I only got a little less than halfway in when sleep just began to overtake me, so I had to take a little nap.

Matt H. · « **Reply #385 on:** December 19, 2008, 08:06:27 PM »

I will finish it and also watch tonight's GHOST WHISPERER tomorrow.

Frustration grew in Christmasvillagetown tonight as the train service to the Nativity scene is still down, impacting travel on this busy holiday weekend. Adding to their annoyances, many Christmasvillagetown residents tried using their Matchbox and Hot Wheel cars and trucks to make the trip to the Nativity Scene, only to discover that their vehicles do not have engines and cannot move on their own power. Residents have been assured that rail service will resume as soon as a light bulb can be obtained from Lloyd's Train and Hobby Shop.

As my Mom said when my sister got married before she came home one Christmas with her bf, "Thank God!--One less guest room to clean!"

Does anyone have the Netflix player to instantly play movies? I don't think the DVR that comes with my cable has the ability to connect to the internet. I think they disabled it, so, I'm considering buying the Roku Netflix player. Any thoughts?
