A request for help

On my current P.C. I use Netscape 3, I am about to replace it, and would like some help with changing browsers.

On the new P.C. i.e. have the option of IE4 or IE5. Any comments on which to use would be appreciated.

I will also need to copy across my address book and bookmarks. How can I do this with
the minimum of fuss? (Remember I am a bit slow with P.C.s so please explain I detail)


Thanks in advance for your help

IE5.01 is the browser to go for. As for copying bookmarks etc., you can export them from Navigator into Explorer quite easily.

From IE5 help..

Sharing bookmarks and favorites

Favorites, known as bookmarks in Netscape Navigator, are a convenient way to organize and link to Web pages that you visit frequently.

Internet Explorer automatically imports all your Netscape bookmarks. On the Favorites menu, click the Imported Bookmarks folder to view them.

If you use Internet Explorer on several computers, you can easily share favorites between computers by importing them. Also, if you use both Internet Explorer and Navigator, you can keep your favorites and bookmarks up-to-date with each other by importing them between programs.

To import bookmarks or favorites, click the File menu, and then click Import and Export.
To export favorites to bookmarks or favorites on the same or another computer, click the File menu, and then click Import and Export.
Notes

Exported favorites are saved as a regular HTML file, so either Internet Explorer or Navigator can import them. You can export a selected folder in your Favorites list, or all of your favorites.
The exported favorites file is fairly small, so you can copy it to a floppy disk or network folder, or attach it to an e-mail message if you want to share the favorite items with other people.

If you're using Nescape, might be easier to go to Netscape 4.7, I prefer this to IE 5, the choice is yours.
