Oral tradition has it that Alexander MacLeod from Nairn and William MacLeod were descended from a MacLeod that was out in 1745 supporting Bonnie Prince Charlie. After reading through the Jacobite Army muster roll I found there were only four MacLeods that weren't killed or transported. Unfortunately, Alexander drowned in the Stotfield Disaster, 25 Dec. 1806, and didn't leave behind an oral tradition of who he was or what the family history was before he came to Lossiemouth. Any help with him is welcome I too have been researching my MacLeod ancestry.

Being the overly cautious type I did not overwrite the old *.default file on the Ubuntu partition. I just changed the extension from "default" to "defold". Everything worked like a champ except my calendar (Lightning) extension. I had installed that extension through the Synaptic Package Manager when I installed Thunderbird. When I opened Thunderbird after transferring my profile as above my three mail accounts worked fine, but my calendar came up with blank squares for the days (not even a date, let alone the listing of a recorded event). Also the "New Event" and "New Task" commands were grayed out in the 'Events and Tasks" menu item. I figured I wouldn't lose much if I tried an uninstall and re-install. In Thunderbird, I went to Tools>Add-ons>Extensions and clicked the "Uninstall" command button in the Lightning section. I said OK to a message that this would screw up things for Google Calendar something or other. I closed and restarted Thunderbird and, blow me down, not only was Lightning still there (I didn't have to do a re-install), but it was working and filled with my existing events, preferences, etc. Checking the Synaptic Package Manager I see that the Lighting Extension is still listed as installed. Not sure what I did "uninstall" (maybe a duplicate that was overlaying the version dragged over from Windows 7), but now when I check Tools>Add-ons>Extensions the "Uninstall" command button in the Lightning section is grayed out. Hope this little wrinkle helps any other convert folks. Just used this method to migrate from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 10.10 with a couple of slight modifications.

However, now that Amazon has their "Cloud Drive", one can buy music, save it to the Cloud Drive (for free) and download from the Cloud Drive. Clamz works with the Cloud Drive, too!
