i'm just going to weigh in on a couple topics that you've asked questions on, if that's okay with wily. and i just have bits of knowledge, as opposed to all the facts. :)
first of all, congratulations! you are going to be rocking, man!
"2. How do you import bookmarks or favorites into the new browsers which I will have to change to?"
i've read that when changing machines, one way is to install the old hard drive in the new machine to move the apps from one to the other. i have no idea how. another way would be with storage media, like zip or jaz drives. and yet another way is with email. yes, email. drag and drop bookmarks into email to yourself and don't open the mail until you get the new machine running. :)
"3. What Utility program do you recommend I get for Win 98? I have Norton Utilities now and am familiar with it."
i'd advise staying with norton's. it's a given that some people will swear by it and others will really swear by it (as in cursing). i use it and know it has helped keep my system running sweet. be certain that you are running the most current version. utilities 3.0 is now been upgraded to 3.09 i believe. the most recent upgrade (available online, of course) fixes a problem some people were having with hanging when shutting the puter down.
"5. I have MS office and Quicken on my computer now. The new computer will be coming with these same programs but a newer version. Will I be able to import the data from the old to the new?"
this is pretty much the same question as #2. the process involves moving or copying, storage disks, or pulling the files off the old drive.
also, here are a couple links that we've put up in here previously, that may be good resources for you and what you are endeavoring...

have fun and good luck. sorry i couldn't answer more, or better. :)
