Jim points out a fact that I don't like about IE. Each bookmark is
saved as a 1 kb shortcut. Each file will take up at least one cluster
on the HD. If you have a large disk that is not partitioned, that may
mean that each bookmark takes up 32K on your drive! On the other hand,
Netscape stores their bookmarks in a single text file. I had a 300KB
netscape bookmark file that I converted to IE bookmarks (using a
converter program) and the bookmark files took up over 32 MB! Wow!.
