I did not know this. Thank you, Alexander.

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, I only have IE7 installed as my browser. I use Chrome at home, but it is not part of the “image” for our machines at work. I will take a look at the programs that you mentioned, but my browser is being blocked from the HTTrack site, so that is off of the list.

Given Ken’s criteria, this probably isn’t a perfect match, but for good measure I’ll add Zotero to the mix:
It’s designed as a scholarly reference manager, but it’s flexible and powerful enough that it could probably handle the sort of thing Ken discusses as well. You can take snapshots of webpages, add notes, organize with tags and hierarchical folders, create shared libraries, etc. It’s runs as a Firefox add-on and syncs everything to the cloud. It’s free for up to 100 MB (you can use your own WebDAV server for more storage if you like).

Lucas,
I had given it consideration, but as I can only use IE7 at work, I ruled it out.
As a side note to my previous post above, it also appears the iCyte needs to install itself, so that is also ruled out. We are not granted administrative rights on our machines, so I cannot install any software. Very frustrating!
