I started using SAFELOG about 4 years ago and (still) love it. As far as the initial transfer from paper goes - I initially entered the early stuff as a lump sum, and the recent entries went in as individual legs. Over a period of a year or so, I just kept chipping away at it, working backwards in time and breaking down the older stuff into individual legs as well. Now I've got every leg entered, including scanned remark/endorsement attachments when appropriate. The program generates a pretty impressive hard copy when you need/want one.
