Just a short question regarding the WinXP browsers, i.e. Chrome, FF and 
Opera - can the settings (i.e. bookmarks, history, userID's and 
passwords be exported to a file on the r: partition (FAT32) which is 
visible in both OS2 and XP - handy if one must download some stuff that 
can't be downloadedd in OS2 or XP?
