Computers. Can't live with 'em, can't throw 'em across the room. Another Gnomie reminds me of how unconventional thinking can often yield positive results. "While surfing the Web, I came across a small selection of nicely displayed information that I wanted to keep for future reference and share with others. I puzzled over which application would best retain all of the page's formatting (without spending much time on editing). A thought passed: flip over to my e-mail program - which was already open. Create a new (HTML) message, select the text on the Web page, copy it, then paste the data into this new message. Fill the Subject field with a title then save it to a folder (or close it, sending a copy to the Drafts folder). Outlook Express users might go as far as to mail the message back to themselves so that the hyperlinks would work." If you've heard of this tip before, it bears repeating. There's so much information out there - it's easy to lose what you once found. Take the extra time to put it into an application which you (undoubtedly) use every single day. It's quick and easy to do!
