You do wonder why IE is doing better in America.

Mr Google said "It's my poll, I am paying for it so the figures will say what I want them to say"   

[Simon]

Indeed. 

[Clive]

I'm having problems with Chrome hogging all my resources on the mended computer.  I may have to return to Avant.   

[Simon]

Have you tried reinstalling it?

[Clive]

That might be a very good idea Simon.  But will I lose my bookmarks?  (again). 

[Rik]

Did you leave your original browser installed? If so, just re-import. Otherwise, there's probably an option to export, either locally or to the cloud.

[Simon]

That might be a very good idea Simon.  But will I lose my bookmarks?  (again). 

I have no idea, Clive, but I would guess that bookmarks are stored elsewhere, as with Firefox, so they should be safe.

[Clive]

If that were so how come I lost them in the first place?   

[Rik]

Too busy sheep watching? 

[Simon]

Because they were on the same drive?

[Clive]

Perhaps I will send Little Bo Peep to look for them.   

[Clive]

Exactly Simon.
