Okay, took a walk a few blocks from me and brought my flash drive with me. I told the guy my whole story. He put the flash drive in one of his computers, read it and said "This is not a favorites folder, this is only a file".

So I said "Oh, I guess I didn't know what I was doing"

Then he tries to show me what to do and I interrupted him and said "Have you lost your mind?" and we both burst out laughing.

Then I asked him if I could bring in both computers and could he do it for me. To copy the favorites from one Mozilla browser to the browser on the new computer? He said fine and no charge. I just looked at him and we both laughed.

So I go home, get the two computers, go there and he hooks them up. I was there for 2 hours. I kid you not. He could not get Mozilla Firefox to import the favorites. Then he copied the favorites to Internet Explorer.

THANK GOD, because who the h cares where the favorites are? I can always go one by one and get them over to Mozilla.

But this guy was determined so I watched him work. He went to Mozilla, up to Bookmarks, went to Show All Bookmarks, selected Import option, he selected "import from Internet Explorer" and it started copying and we both got excited.

Then we get a message "FIREFOX HAS STOPPED WORKING", blah blah.

Every time he tried to do this we got the same message. After 2 hours (and people were coming in and he was helping them but he always came back to my stuff. So I just thanked him, gave him a tip for his kids (he did not want to take it) but I said "no, you really tried, and you got it on Internet Explorer"

I came home and I DON'T EVER WANT TO DO ANY COMPUTER STUFF FOR A LONG LONG TIME.

I mean, I'll go on the internet and do my letters in Microsoft word, but no more files, folders, UGH!!!

I do not understand how the geeks can learn this in 2 seconds.

I'm 64 years old and the guy said "Oh my god, you know a lot about computers". It seems he doesn't know anyone over the age of 50 who knows how to use one.

Good Grief.

But hey, I'm up and running and that's all I care about.

Now I'm going to my kitchen and make some chicken.

I wish I were an Amish housewife.

lol
