I put all those miscellaneous snips in OneNote (used it for years, long before I even heard of EverNote) until I get a chance to enter the data in Legacy. Once I enter the data, I can "Print" that page to a PDF printer driver, saving it to the Media folder and then link to the appropriate place in Legacy. I can also send it to Word and save it as a Word document. The original snip is still in OneNote with the URL of where it came from.
You can save other things besides web pages to OneNote as well. But until I get confirmation of that data to make sure it applies to my individual and I have entered something in Legacy to link it to, it stays in OneNote, where it should. OneNote can be on the web as well as Evernote.
