Hey everyone,

I've been trying to get my wife (and therefore house) move over to =
Linux. =20

Pro: She's a pro with Opera (even uses mouse gestures), happy with =
openoffice, and is somewhat handy on the desktop. Gnucash is a good =
thing. her solitaire game works with WINe.

Con: Moving data and ACT. We have several years of email stored in =
netscape and Outlook express. Is there a good way to import this into =
any Linux email package? I haven't looked at all, instead depending on =
your quick(er) advice. also, and the real killer, is that she works =
from home and has to use ACT2000, with updates being sent over email =
btwn her and her boss. How is ACT with WINe? Or where can I find out?

and yes, I have latency problems with the mailing list as well.

Thanks for your help,

anthony
