Is there an easy way to transport your bookmarks from computer to computer? Preferably with a usb drive or something?
 
Bookmarks as in Firefox or IE Favorites? I have about 161 links in favorites and the links sub folder that take up... 658KB in drive space. That's under 1/2 of the total space available on a 3 1/2" 1.44MB floppy disk. Simply copy and paste the Favorites folder with the "links" sub folder in it to a floppy with two explorer windows open. Copy them from the removable disk there into the user name folder found in the DocumentsandSettings folder on the other machine. Or you simply use two windows again for copy and pasting to avoid overwriting any current links on the second system.
 
If you have firefox you can either copy the mozilla folder which is under your application data folder under your user name, or download the foxmarks add-on.
 
A 1.44mb floppy is all you would need if you have one installed. If you have other files to transfer as well you use a cd writer for backing up your links with both IE and Firefox since there is little space used there. One simple tip when running both that can make things easier is add all bookmarks into the IE favorites by pasting the link with both browsers open. Once you have the IE favorites on the other system you can import them to Firefox with the tool mentioned by OMEGA. They are available for both this way.
 
It works here well enough since I backup links from favorites onto 2.0 in case something stops IE 7 from opening. If Firefox could run the current toolbar used here and not the Google bar I would using 2.0 for the default browser. Oh well I guess I'm stuck there. :(
