hi

so I just bought a samsung NC-10 netbook for my wife (running XP home), and will be selling her white macbook (on here BTW.... )

I should have both machines up and running for at least a few days, so want to migrate stuff to the new machine as easily as possible.

she uses gmail via IMAP, so that should be fairly painless, and I can copy documents across.

but what about internet bookmarks, and contacts? Is there a simple way to export those and put them on the PC? can I perhaps import the contacts into gmail, and sync them that way?

Lastly, is there any application that can sync documents between a mac and PC? I've been using chronosync to do that previously for home documents/photos etc, but I don't expect that'll work between a mac and a PC.
