   Re: What happened to my Bookmarks?

   When I ran 7.2, I would occasionally experience the apparent loss of   
   bookmarks.  I found that the missing ones had just been mysteriously   
   relocated within the bookmark hierarchy.  I had folders for travel,   
   finance, car, etc., and if I opened all the bookmark folders, I would   
   find the seemingly missing items, and relocate them to where I wanted them.   
      
   So I would suggest you expand every item using the manage bookmarks   
   selection, and see if your missing bookmarks have just been relocated.   
      
   Before figuring this out, I started backing up the bookmarks file to   
   prevent recurrence of the apparent loss.  In retrospect, I think backing   
   up is a good habit and I shouldn't have gotten out of it.  With my   
   earliest computers, backing up was always emphasized; now they seem to   
   have abandoned the practice.  I'd like to find an automatic backup   
   program, free, of course.
