We will be doing a netscape demo in a few weeks.  Is there a way to save
urls to a disk in case there is a problem with the connection?  This is
for a macintosh, so any directions you can give me would be appreciate?
Also is ther a way to save bookmarks to a disk so that the url is there
and they can be used?  Thanks, Michele

You can save your bookmarks to a disk by exporting them to a 3.5"
diskette.  In my version of Netscape there is a view bookmarks
function.  Once selected you can edit your bookmarks, and from here
you can export them to a diskette.  I do this for training purposes
and to keep a backup of my bookmarks.  I would think this is true
whether you use an IBM or MAC version of Netscape.  I use the 1.22 version, but
I believe this capability was included in the version preceding this one as
well.



BUT.........

You might also consider purchasing The Educator's World Wide Web book (INCLUDES
CD-ROM with screen captures of key educational web sites) from the Classroom
Connect folks.  The book is excellent and the CD-Rom would come in handy
when a connection fails.  About 200 web sites are included.

The cost of the book is $39.00.  Classroom Connect has their own web
page and you can probably order it right through the page or else get
ordering information. By the way, this is a great resource for
K-12!  They have tons of great links and useful information, like
Acceptable Use Policies FAQ,etc.

You can mail them at connect@wentworth.com

PS: I am not employed by Classroom Connect, but they are absolutely
the best source of resources on integrating the Internet--videos,
books, web site, Classroom Connect monthly journal.....
