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. This search has some links that
look promising:

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.

If I need to keep something *near* , I use a software program called
NeoMem , which works on a tree system .
 
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 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.
