Recently our organization purchased for a senior management one of the latest and priciest notebook in town, a Lenovo X300 ThinkPad priced at about USD 2,900 (July 2008).

A few weeks later, I was requested by the senior management staff to assist in transfering Microsoft Outlook emails and data from the old notebook to the new X300 ThinkPad with Windows Vista Business installed. ¸î ÁÖ ÈÄ, Àü °íÀ§ °ü¸® Á÷¿ø¿¡ ÀÇÇØ »õ·Î¿î ¾ÅÅ©ÆÐµå X300 À©µµ¿ì ºñ½ºÅ¸ ºñÁî´Ï½º¿Í MS ¾Æ¿ô·è À̸ÞÀÏ ¹× ±âÁ¸ ³ëÆ®ºÏ¿¡¼­ µ¥ÀÌÅÍ Àü¼Û¿¡ µµ¿òÀ» ¿äûÇß´Ù ¼³Ä¡µÇ¾î ÀÖ¾î¾ßÇÕ´Ï´Ù.
