If it exports its data as tab-delimited text files (Unix line endings are
OK) and imports same, then scripts which I am almost finished will export
and import them into Entourage for you. there are techniques for selecting
just new items to export, at least in Entourage, so you don't have to export
your entire Address Book, Calendar, etc. every time. If  the Sharp can do
the same, it makes everything quicker. Otherwise, the scripts will also
exclude duplicates, but it's a lot slower that way.

Big deal - it's not much of a story anyway. ;-)
