Is this useful to anyone?

If you're like me, lots of times I read something really interesting on this site and then promptly lose it! Then have to spend ages searching for it again! But since I downloaded some free post-it note software from download.com all I do now is copy and paste the info/recipe etc. into a post it note which stays on my desktop until I've burned into my memory (yeah right) or have time to file it somewhere else.

    I tend to copy and paste things to wordpad and save and keep in a folder on the desktop, and then email to my hotmail address, that way, I know they will never dis-appear.

    I have hundreds of pages in saved in the Bookmarks on Morzilla, but I will be well stuffed if we have to reload windows again, so I will have a look at saving it other than on my computer. I know that you can do this, but not sure how - I'll have to ask on Techie stuff forum. This happened a while back, and I lost every bookmark.

    If anyone uses the full Outlook (don't think it's available in Outlook Express) , you can do the same with the Notes facility in that - you can move and save the notes to anywhere on your computer, not just leave them in Outlook.
