PC to Mac Switch Day 3 Last night I only had time to import my 3800+ song collection from my PC to the PowerBook. I didn’t realize how long it would take when I started the process… I made the mistake of adding the files to the iTunes library using WiFi. I started the import

It’s deja vu all over again… Some of you may remember that two years ago I bought an Apple G4 Titanium Powerbook with the intentions of making the big switch from PCs to Macs. Although I loved the TI Book, it just didn’t work out for me at that time, so I sold it. Wellllll,
