If you are looking for an easy way to move your favorites from one computer to another, or just wanting to have a backup copy, the easiest thing to do is put your favorites on what is known as a thumb drive or data stick. You can get one at any office supply store, or even Wal-mart.
All you really need to do, is find your favorites folder and drag it to your disk, or burn it onto a CD. Let's get started.
To find your favorites folder, you can use one of several methods.
1. Click on "Start" then "Run". Type "Favorites" in the run box and click "OK" to open your favorites folder.
2. Click on "Start" then "Search". Search for all files and folders named "Favorites" and find the one that has your favorites. It will have a star icon rather than a folder icon.
3. Browse through your hard drive and find the favorites folder. In older versions of Windows, it will be in the "Windows" folder of your hard drive. In Windows XP, it will be in the "Documents and Settings" folder of your hard drive. In Windows Vista, it will be in your user folder which can be accessed by clicking Start, then click on the button in the upper right corner of your start menu.
Once you have located your "Favorites" folder, it is a simple thing to drag it to a disk, or right click on it point to "Send To" and then click on your CD-RW drive to copy it to a CD.

An animator faces his own animation in deadly combat. The battlefield? The Flash interface itself. A stick figure is created by an animator with the intent to torture. The stick figure drawn by the animator will be using everything he can find - the brush tool, the eraser tool - to get back at his tormentor. It's resourcefulness versus power. Who will win? You can find out yourself.

Did you know that... ...Yearly, over 500 million ink jet cartridges and 70 million laser cartridges will be sold in the United States. Every year over 400 million cartridges, with combined weight of 200 million pounds, are discarded into our nation's landfills. The plastic used in a typical ink jet or laser cartridge takes 1,000 years to decompose. What happens to our trash? According to the EPA, 67% of it is sent to landfills, 15% is incinerated and less than 18% is recycled.
Every day in the United States, each of us will send the equivalent of 4.5 pounds of trash into our landfills. Approximately 9-12% is made up of plastics. This massive pile of garbage takes up space and will need to be monitored for years to come, making it a serious problem for the next generation. Join us as we create a better tomorrow for the children, by recycling inkjet and laser cartridges in our RECYCLE PROGRAM.
