Guest vcandys49 Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 There is such an incredible worth of knowlege on this site that I have a hard time leaving it. I can't be the only one that would like to keep a "scrapbook" of the things I don't want to forget when I need them later. I know somebody out there can tell me how to do it, so come on, give it up!

There are as many different ways of saving information as there are people. Because I do tech support for a living and use multiple operating systems, my solution was to create an html file which I update regularly from temporary notes kept in a plain text file. Evernote looks very interesting but I don't know if it runs on Windows. If you have MS Office, OneNote is quite nice.

I just use Google. Google maintains an archive of these groups, so there isn't a need for local storage. The key is in your search terms. HTH -pk

Guest Onsokumaru Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Re: Saving the best info errm, copy and paste? Just save the info at the time then label it appropriately and keep it in its own directory. You can always use the windows search or agent ransack to do a word search on the contents of the documents. Unless you want to create your own db. Most of this info is available on the web anyway.

I > know somebody out there can tell me how to do it, so come on, give it up! I use Tombo http://tombo.sourceforge.jp/En/index.html although I have an older version than the one here. All it does is create or allow access to text files in a tree like view. I either save the email/news file as a .txt file or copy and paste what I want into a new file in Tombo and it saves it as a .txt file for me. All the text files are stored in a folder and/or subfolders and a single click opens it very quickly.
