Day two presented one solvable problem and one insoluble problem. The solvable one was importing my wife's Firefox bookmarks from Windows into Linux. After a bit of research it was simply a matter of replacing the places.sqlite file in her .mozilla/firefox/"long funny name".default directory with the file from Windows Drive:/Documents and Settings/XXXXXX/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/"long funny name".default.

The insoluble problem, at least so far, is the inability to watch CTV's Olympic streaming because they are using Silverlight, Microsoft's Adobe Flash replacement. The Linux Silverlight project Mono put out a special preview release of their version 3.0 Moonlight product which unfortunately did not work for me.
