Re: XYWRITE digest 2704


It's more automated--not always a good thing, but no problem here--and more convenient, without a lot of drag-and-drop.  It lets you backup and restore various things--passwords, cookies, history--or uncheck them.

Bookmarks are in Profile, but I don't see passwords or the others, and I frankly hope they are buried somewhere deep under a gibberish filename. Each to his own, but I think it's useful.
