5. Rubik’s 360

What I loved: the challenge, even though it took 40 mins to complete. Confession: I never completed the Rubik’s cube

4. iPod Nano (5th generation)

What I loved: video recording, FM radio.

3. HTC Magic

What I loved: the Google integration, slick UI, controlled data usage. By far, this is my favourite Android handset, beats the HTC Hero.

2. Beats by Dr Dre

What I loved: excellent sound quality. Once you try these out, you’d want to own it! Although, at R6 999 (Audiosure), you might think twice.

1. The new MacBook Pro 13″

What I love: what’s not to love? Okay, I’m biased with #1 because I bought one last month

So anyway, the most important thing for me was getting all my email from MS Outlook to Mail. (If you Google this, you are most likely to come up with results that tell you you need to pay $10 for an app that does it). I did it, without paying for anything and thought I’d share the how-to, just in case you want to do the same someday.The ‘middle-man’ mail client you will need is Thunderbird.

On your Windows machine, open Thunderbird. If you don’t have it, download it here.

Run Thunderbird, and go to Tools > Import > Mail. You will see a list of email clients – select Outlook. This will take a while, depending on how much of email you have.

Once it’s complete, close Thunderbird and go to your Thunderbird profile directory. It should be here:

C:\Windows\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\<profile name>\

If you can’t locate it, go to Start > Run and type in %APPDATA% and go to Thunderbird > Profiles.

Copy the profile and save it to your Mac.

Open Mail and click on File > Import Mailboxes. Locate and select your profile.

Ta-da!
