Hey all. I was wondering if anyone knew if it were possible to transfer my websites I have dubbed as "favorites" on my PC desktop over to my new Macbook. I use most of them constantly and was hoping there was some easy way of transfering them over without doing it manually. Any thoughts?
Thanks!!

The favorites are all in CDocuments and Settings\username\Favorites, so you could just copy that folder over, but I don't know if any of the Mac browsers will be able to interpret it.

Here's another way:
Install Firefox on the PC.
Have Firefox import your IE favorites.
Install the Google Firefox bookmark sync plugin.
Install Firefox on your Mac and install the same plugin.

Viola!
