RE: IE5 setup

Yoshi,

I'm new to the forum, AND OS X, but thought I'd post this question:

Have you tried duplicating the files, and putting them in the OS X prefs, instead of the aliases?

Of course, if things are already working...

well that would work but thats even more of a pain, the reason I did it like this is so that if you ever have to boot into OS 9 you have all your stuff right there and you don't have to worry about having to find your bookmarks and stuff

Re: Sharing Fave's betwixt X and 9.x

Great idea Yoshi...

I do something completely different though. I actually opened word and pasted all my fave's into a doc and named it user.html (user=my name) and then copied it into my documents folder on both systems. I have not tried it with an alias but I like the idea of portability it gives me. If I want to take my links to the office I can just email em'.

I actually coded it in html with "a href" 's to clean it up and make it look pretty. The nice thing about it is I can make tables and all sorts of visual aids to draw my eyes to things.

Just my 2 cents!

I did a similar thing to get bookmaks to work in 9 and X.

Seeing as X is my main system i created alias to the bookmake files and placed them in the corresponding 9 Prefs folder. (i did this wile using OS 9 because 9 doesn't like OSX aliases.

Never had any problems worked fine for me for about a year now
