The following may be bordering on off-topic for this group, but an aspect of information management that is becoming difficult to avoid is the storage and retrieval of online information.

Internet search engines are now quite mature but I don’t see much effort yet being put into capturing web information (before it changes at the speed of light).

While programs like Brainstorm can import web text quickly and efficiently, the graphical nature of the web makes it inevitable that we also need to download both text and images.

If you want to save both text and images from a web page, are people here -

- saving the web information onto the hard disk using one of the various formats available or
- importing it directly into a PIM or
- using purpose built tools like SurfSaver
- some other method?

TIA

Jack
