 Ahh, now I see what you mean. Aside from the fact that I'd need to carry 
 with me some sort of floppy / ZIP / USB-stick (and that I'd have to get 
 used to the program itself, but that should be no problem :-)), this 
 seems like worth a try.

 Yes, I learnt that much from reading through the pages you pointed me 
 to. If I understand Mozilla enough, there is no such thing as a newsrc 
 file there at all. So if I carry with me / send to work the relevant 
 *.dat, *.msf, and *.rc files (ah, "rc" after all), I might get away with 
 that, too, though probably needing to point to the same servers as well. 
  
 Appreciate your idead!
