Hi Wayne, (and happy new year to all!) Well the clue, at least as I understand the universe, is in your reference to Marketing. I believe they are counting on two things: 1) Path of least resistance. Safari is already there, it does the job so people get hooked and start saving bookmarks. 2) It is NOT obvious to the average user how to switch browsers, especially given how Apple *used* to do things with a system level control panel. It is also NOT obvious to the average user how to export bookmarks. -- Tim Lapin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
