Am I doing something wrong???? I went to that link and from what I can see, I need to add the bookmarks I already have on IE. I have a gazillion and don't want to sit and add each one individually! I have saved my bookmarks to a disk and a flash drive. It's easy to pop those in and save the latest, and pop the disk/drive in when I'm moving to DH's computer.

Be careful and don't just pull the plug for digital cameras, Ipods, any hardware you plug into the computer.

Thanks, I'll have to put in my flash drive (today!!!) and check this.

And double thanks for mentioning digital cameras, because I do the same thing with my camera, and even after you mentioned about flash drives, it didn't occur to me that the same thing would be true of other devices. Duh, but I really appreciate you saying it!

I used a website linkagogo.com when helping my mom attempt to switch from AOL to internet explorer ... you can load all your favorites on there and have it accessible from any computer.
