Re: Favicons

For many years I really had no interest in favicons either - what with them
being lost every time I blew away the bloating TIF folder and all. I was
happy with just the generic "e" icon on all my favorites lists. But then
came the tools to save them, and having them there all the time, I've found
that I rely on them now, instead of the text when looking for a particular
favorite in a list - like my bank's logo, for instance.

I had no idea there was such interest in Favicons. I think they're cute
but
I don't find them an essential aid to navigation or organization of my
favorites. It's unfortunate that they're so easily lost. I find creating
folders / sub folders within the favorites folder to be a much better way
to
organize my links. Since Dr. Teeth never answered my question about how he
deleted his favicons we can assume that he was unable to recover them.
