[NTLK] Einstein and old data

[Dan]

I was about to chime in on this with about the same info but Mark beat me to it.  Sadly there isn't a way to "import" or "export" data from a real Newt to Einstein.  It is about the last big hurdle as to why I haven't used Einstein much like I did with my real Newt. Matthias said he would take a look/try to find some time.  But we all know how busy he is. :)

If I knew how to code, I would lend a hand.

A thought occurs to me though, FTP might be another way to get data on or off Einstein.  If you do your own server instead of email since it is hard to find a email server that works with Newts these days.  Although you could do your own server for mail like you could for FTP but I *think* the FTP server (like Filezilla) would be easier to setup than a mail server.  The downside though is NewtFTP can't be registered these days, only bypass/reset the trial period (which takes some tinkering in the soups).
