It's fast and easy. All your bookmarks are saved at Google and you can use them from any computer. It's better then clogging up your computer space.
I you don't use IGoogle go here:

You ought to be backing up files on your hard drive. You can put them on an inexpensive and very portable flash drive. Your favorites can go on the flash drive, too.
Um, nice tip, but shouldn't it be in General Chat?

I don't care where you placed your thread. I'm just thankful that you shared it. Thanks, Boo! Knowing this might save some of us from losing some quilting-related websites that we love if we're strapped for cash and don't have a spare $15 from our "fabric budget" to buy a flash drive. Not all of us are as computer savvy as others, so I appreciate suggestions from both Boo and Lisanne.

On my iMac, however, I can just close the file and pull the thumb drive out without losing files. However, again, I just have to make sure I close the file I'm working on COMPLETELY before yanking the thumb drive out.
I believe that is what Boo was referring to, Lisanne.

A huge thank you!!!
I've got scads of "favorites" - blogs, patterns, stores, the list is long!
As many of our favorites are quilting links, I think this is a great place for this to be posted.
And while we should :wink: back up our hard drive, that isn't going to help with a list of links, or bookmarks. Backing up your hard drive refers to the files you've actually saved.
Thanks again.

I have Vista and down in the lower right there is an icon that pops up when ever a flash drive is plugged in. When I get ready to take it out, I click on the icon and it closes the flash drive/files and tells me when it's safe to disconnect. Be careful and don't just pull the plug for digital cameras, Ipods, any hardware you plug into the computer.
