[X-Newbies] Moving Netscape mail files via Firewire

[Crandon David]

While I do appreciate your desire to stay with whatever is  
comfortable for you (I do the same, I'm always the last to ugrade), I  
stronly  feel you should stop using Nestcape and move to Safari and  
Mail.

I just last weekend moved my 76 yr old mother from what exactly you  
are using to OSX. I was very worried about it, as was she, but she  
love it!
