Yep. This was featured in this week’s episode of Media Watch, available for download from the ABC web site. It is actually more horrifying to watch than to read.

Pauly, I really don’t understand your instructions regarding removing all the Microsoft crap that comes up in Notes when importing the vcard.

Kindly explain in detail as i’m a noob.

Cheers! :-)

for i in *.vcf; do grep -v X-MS-OL “$i” > “final$i”; done;

The above command will help you strip out all the Microsoft cruft before you import the vcards just run it in the folder containing all of the dirty vcards and then only import cards with final prefix.

Regards.”

hi i’m moving from a pda (windows mobile) phone to the iphone, now i tried syncing my iphone to my outlook which is good however i have lots of contacts that has more than one mobile number…windows mobile is dumb here because they only allow you to input one number as mobile number, so i inputted the second number under “car phone” category, now after i synced my iphone, all the numbers under “car phone” did not register and did not show up. now i have almost 1000 contacts on my list and i dont think going through them one by one is the answer, can someone help me? would transferring my data to a macbook address book software fix this problem?
Thanks

Not enough close-ups IMO. Sorry that sounds so lecherous :)

I had a mother board failure and moved the hard drive to another PC. I was running outlook 2000 and Outlook Express. I can not locate to migrate/export files. Where do these reside and how do I get them active and then export?
Thanx, Jack

Very helpful. As Daniel says, you do need to install zlib prior to building ruby. Also, I found that the zlib-devel is required.
