you'll probably need to upgrade the ibook 20 2004. 2004 can import  
from v. X, but I don't believe v.X will import from 2004.

Once you have the ibook running 2004, just copy over the microsoft  
user data folder (in your documents folder).

Upgrade to Entourage 2004. The size limit is larger than any hard  
drive you have. There is a limit of 1 million *items* though.
