Bookmarks

I'm getting a new computer at work. Which is kind of Yay and kind of Yipes at the same time. My experience with the tech support here has not been especially stellar during my time in English, but this new guy they've got helping us is pretty on the ball. So I'm moderately optimistic instead of being outright terrified.

My question is: If I've bookmarked something using the Google toolbar, are those bookmarks saved in my Google profile? Or do I need to do some sort of backup on them. Because I've lost my bookmarks so many times thanks to tech snafus here. I don't want it to happen again.

Thanks for any info!

Hmm, not a clue as I don't know what browser you are using, nor do I use the google toolbar. I love foxmarks with firefox- it saves and updates bookmarks remotely, so that my laptop and sewing office computer bookmarks remain identical.

Usually in the "organize bookmarks" option there is a backup or download option.

Hope this helps!

I tried logging into Gmail on someone else's computer and indeed, there were my bookmarks. So hurray!
