Theoretically the bookmarks should be updated. Don't know which (if any) 
browsers do this. Mozilla 0.9.7 and IE 6 on the PC don't seem to. It would 
probably be worth trying to get the old addresses to work for another 
couple of months, unless it involved a silly amount of money or inconvenience.
