Thing 7 continued

So, here is my report on Zamzar:  It did convert my MSWorks spreadsheet (.wks) file into an Excel format (.xls), BUT it is not really useable.  The words and numbers are there, but they are not appropriately separated.  Oh well, it was worth a try.  I still might try the conversion of the MSWorks word processor (.wps) files to Word (.doc) format.  I'll see if it is worth the effort, or if I should just rename the files and clean up what I get when they open.

Thing #7

So I am trying out delicious.  I already had an account at IKeepBookmarks.com.  I am importing the bookmarks.  We'll see which I like better.  If nothing else, now the bulk of my bookmarks are backed up.  Every time IKeepBookmarks was unavailable, I worried that the site had gone under.  How do these things make enough $$ to stay afloat?

Remember the Milk looks good, but you need the pro account to get it to work on your Android phone.  That seemed like the real plus to me.  Otherwise I just send myself e-mails of to-dos.

I know I am a throwback, but I still mainly use Internet Explorer, so while Readability sounds great... I tried looking through the IE  Gallery Addons list, but it is just too long and I am just too impatient.

I know that I want to use Zamzar because I think I can use it to convert my old MSWorks files to Word +/or Excel.  I had gradually been converting them as I needed them, but that takes a long time.  (BTW, the school just got a new version of PrintShop and I learned that it can't read any of my files from the old version.  GRRRRR!)  I just can't convert files fast enough and I don't understand why the companies would make their own product files inaccessible.  What possible advantage could it be for them to make me spend hours recreating my work!  I understand they want me to buy the new version, but shouldn't that be enough?!

I'll edit this after delicious successfully uploads my bookmarks AND after I use Zamzar. 

Okay, preliminary opinion of delicious versus IKeepBookmarks: the "Word Art" of most popular tags is pretty, but I think that I like the visual of the folders in IKeepBookmarks.  I guess it is just how my brain works.  I'm sure I can get used to delicious, but it will take time.
