Moving to a new computer.

[***** charles]

Hi all,

I am getting a new laptop for mobility reasons. My old computer
is going to a relative. My question is: is there an easy way to
transfer all my favorites, emails, and all the stuff that makes my
old computer mine to my new laptop? I can connect the two
at the same time to the same network if that would make it easier.

thanks,
charles.....
