    HOT: Avoid Verizon Early Cancelation Fee, get out your contract free

    I've had verizon for the past 2 years and been extremely happy with it. I've had Sprint, T-mobile, AT&T/Cingular as well and they all sucked in southern california. I'm sticking with verizon when my contract comes up again next month.

    Moving MS Exchange 5.5 mailboxes and public folders to 2003

    Re-creating the accounts will not be a problem. The domain is not very big. There are probably about 15 accounts and about that many workstations. I guess the 'brute-force' approach would be to export each users account to a PST, make new accounts on the new server, then import the PST files...
