Hi,
Methinks your looking in the wrong place. Not sure what "Info" you're
looking for, but imagine it's email addresses, Bookmarks etc. If so, look in
the system folder, preferences folder. you should find the info there; I use
Netscape so not sure of exact location, but they all work in a similar vein.
Once you've located what you want, you should be able to simply "import" it
into the newer version.
Next time you update, use the "Smart Update" feature, it works for you, not
against you. HTH.
TTFN,
TeeC
