Protect your favorites

You can back up your favorites to a file on your desktop and then save that
file to a thumb drive or CD. Here is a link that will explain how to do
that for several popular web browsers.

I am a big nag when it comes to backing up our computer equipment. I had
backed up my fairly new laptop one day only to have the hard drive crash the
following week. Luckily I had not used it very much that week and didn't
lose anything vital. The pictures I had downloaded were still on my camera
but this is the laptop I travel with and download all my pictures to on a
daily basis while on vacation. I took 1,100 pictures of my cross-country
train ride so I when say I "take" pictures, I mean I really TAKE pictures.
And there are no negatives! Even if you take only a few pictures, it would
be sad to lose them. It's good to get into the habit of making backups -
and make sure one copy is stored at another location!

Bless your heart Alice. Thank you from me too. I knew backing up the
favorites was vital but didn't have a clue how to accomplish it. Polly
