The information from your tech support people is correct. Actually, not even
two months, it is just one month. The reason they do so is to let you buy
it, so you don't have to download it once a month. For the bookmark file,
you just need to save another copy in another directory, and then whtn you
install the new copy, you tell your netscape 2.0 the location of the
bookmark file. In this way you don't lose it.
