    Clayton, bit off topic, but maybe not too far off....

    Most of us have enough bite marks and scars from leftover bits 'n bytes that we have, or know where to get, Nuclear Removal Tools! Almost every AV and Security Suite out there and other stuff hides junk all over the place. Here's a link to 26 of the most common uninstallers that get rid of the leftovers. Includes links to the software and tips for use.

    Always add several heaping tablespoons of common sense......

  3. I now have a gmail address
    I sent my AOL icons on the taskbar to my gmail address
    I have almost 2500 favorite places and the address book to send. Does anyone know how many favorite places I can have on Google Chrome??

    simrick are there any specific directions to do this??? It seems like an impossible task at this point.

    I thought I posted a link of instructions for exporting AOL info...let me look back.
    Gmail didn't offer to import your address book for you when you created the account? I thought it would.

    Hi there. Not sure, but I should think it would be unlimited for they are very tiny files. Hope that helps.

    Looking at my Chrome Sync, I have 26,148 Bookmarks, and the actual bookmark file stored on the system is about 9K. I wouldn't be concerned..........

    You're welcome! That's about 7-8 years worth of bookmarked favorites. Maybe I should clean up some of the dead ones! *chuckle

  11. Starting to switch over to Chrome. The following is what to do .....Unfortunately "select contacts" is nowhere to be seen in my AOL Mail and I have Never used IM AT ALL. It is shut off. This looked so easy.


    AOL: To save your AOL Mail or AIM Mail address book to a CSV file -Log into your AOL mail account. Select Contacts in the AOL Mail or AIM Mail folder list (usually on the lower left side of the screen). Click 'Select All' at the top left of the contact list. Click the Export button. Choose the CSV file format under "File Type" Browse to where you want to save your Contacts file. Click Export.

    I don't have any way of testing that. Found this, though. Take a look thru it and see if anything helps.
