A word on Surfulater (today on Bits du Jour)

I also use Surfulater, and have found it to be the best of the web saving research tools I have used. I especially appreciate the easy ability to clone information so it can appear in more than one place in the tree, and also the “file last saved item here” feature.

I have found that when other programs are unable to save text material without deleting lines separating paragraphs, Surfulater often is able to do so. So even if I eventually want some material in another program, such as UltraRecall or InfoHandler, I will save it to Surfulater first, then copy it and paste it in the program I ultimately want it in.
