Can I import my outlook calender in to iCal?

[OzyOly]

Hey, my new iMac will be arriving in just over a week and I'm selling my pc.

I'm going to transfer my data (about 600GB) to my iMac via firewire 400 and I was wondering if iCal would be able to import my calendar (and contacts or is that through mail?) by reading an outlook data file?

Cheers.

The procedure (and filetype is as follows):

1. Open Outlook
2. Click File menu
3. Click Import and Export
4. Click Export to a file
5. Click Comma Separated Values (DOS)
6. You may be required to install the possible translator here. Just follow the directions on the screen.
7. Select folder to export from: Calendar
8. Browse, name, and save the file some place easy to find it. (Desktop)
9. Click Next
10. On the follow actions will be performed screen click the Finish button.
11. Allow the export to perform
12. Open iCal
13. Import the .CSV file.
14. Job's a good 'un

Thank you kindly EVH.

This wait is annoying. I want to get my hands on it. But without the dead pixel problems that gumbald has being having of course.
