     Q. How can I export my Internet Explorer Favorites (bookmarks)
     from my home computer to my computer at work?
     
     A. You can export your Favorites list as an HTML file, copy it
     to  your  second  computer,  and then  import  the  file  into
     Internet  Explorer  or open the file in  another  browser.  To
     import  the  file in IE 5, pull down the File menu and  choose
     "Import  and Export", step through the wizard and  select  the
     Favorites  file you want to import and the file  you  want  to
     export it to. [Source: PC Magazine]

     The  Department of Education has launched a new  Web  site  to
     inform taxpayers of how their districts spend their funds. The
     site, called "Your Schools, Your Money," lists the costs  that
     each  Pennsylvania  school district spends  on  administrative
     support, transportation, special education and extracurricular
     activities. To learn more about your school's spending habits,
     visit this site today.

     YAHOO TO CHARGE FOR E-MAIL, STORAGE
     Yahoo said Thursday that it will soon implement new fees  in
     once-free  areas  on its service, marking the  Web  portal's
     latest  effort to boost non-advertising revenue. The company
     said  it will begin charging for a feature that lets  people
     check their Yahoo e-mail messages from outside services.  In
     addition, the company will limit public access to  its  data
     storage service in hopes of persuading people to pay for it.
     
     CIA GETS CAUGHT WITH HAND IN COOKIE JAR
     The  CIA got caught with a hand in the Internet cookie  jar.
     The  agency removed software from one of its Web sites  this
     week after a private group discovered that the CIA was using
     banned  Internet tracking technology called "cookies,"  said
     Mike Stepp, who manages the CIA's public Web site. "It was a
     mistake  on  our part. It was not intentional,"  Stepp  said
     Tuesday. "The public does not need to be concerned that  the
     CIA  is  tracking them. We're a bit busy to be doing  that."
     Cookies  are small software files often placed on  computers
     without  a  person's knowledge. The files can make  Internet
     browsing  more convenient by letting sites distinguish  user
     preferences,  but  they have been criticized  for  violating
     privacy  because they can track Web surfing. The  government
     issued strict rules for how federal agencies may use cookies
     in  2000  after it was discovered that the White House  drug
     policy  office  had  used the technology to  track  computer
     users  viewing its online anti-drug advertising.  The  rules
     ban  the use of "persistent" cookies, which track Web habits
     over years.
