Guys, Mac runs a program called Entourage that you can import your Outlook psd stuff into. That's what the ex-PC guru next to me on the couch says. He's gone to the Mac side.
As for the slow start up, the guru says that your hard drive could be preparing to fail (in which case you want to yank it and take it to someone to get your data off), or you could have bad memory. If you are in love with your PC, you can try replacing the memory first. If that doesn't work, you now have extra memory on your hands, but you can try installing a new harddrive. If that doesn't work, you probably have a bad processor.
