well I was able to get my monitor working again. Now a
question on Thunderbird. I have my contacts transfered into the
address book but how do you get those imported addresses into
one of the default address book. I had named my exported addresses
from the old windows Thunderbird in LDIF format to Personal Address
book. Now when imported they are in that named address book but the
system only wants to look at the default named Personal Address Book,
yes I have
two Personal Address Books. I can only delete the one I imported not
the other one.
So how can I either import the entries into the system Personal Address
Book or copy from my PAB to the system default PAB.

Confusing you bet. I think someone needs to work on the Import/Export
tools of Thunderbird, or rewrite the instructions, I don't refuse to believe
that I screwed up so maybe it is me after all.
