How do I create a recurring all-day event in Apple iCal?

Category: Mac OS X Help

Slowly but surely, I've been dragged kicking and screaming (well, not screaming, per se) into using Apple's iCal application on my Mac, though I'd rather just use the calendar in Microsoft Outlook on my XP box. I've figured out a lot of iCal but can't figure out how to have a weekly recurring event that's not tied to a specific time segment, though.

Import Lotus Notes Address Book into Microsoft Outlook?

Category: Windows PC Help

Dave, we got a new IT manager and he's forcing everyone to migrate from our long-beloved Lotus Notes application to Microsoft Outlook. He also tells me that there's no way to export my address book from Notes and import it into Outlook, but I just can't believe it. Is there a solution?

Is the Apple iPhone going to be a business phone?

I spent a fair amount of time on the phone with Leslie Brooks Suzukamo, Telecom, Technology and Energy Reporter for the St. Paul Pioneer Press earlier this week. Our topic of discussion? Whether the new Apple iPhone is going to be a good business phone or not. He quoted various industry sources and so-called pundits who predicted that it wouldn't and that it's designed exclusively for consumers. But he -- and they -- are so terribly wrong...

"winmail.dat" attachments are driving me nuts!

Category: Mac OS X Help

Dave, there are a couple of people who send me email, and, consistently, their attachments don't show up as neat "foo.doc" or "report.xls" but as the generic attachment winmail.dat. They don't know why and I don't know why. Worse, as a Mac user, I can't figure out what to do with them. What's causing these "winmail.dat" files and how do I decode 'em?
