I'm just starting to learn a product that comes free with .mac. It's called StickyBrain and more info can be found at http://www.chronosnet.com/
Here's a blurb from the site: You're planning your vacation to Hawaii, but you can't remember the name of the Maui beach-front hotel you read rave reviews about. You know you read about it awhile ago, but where? Was it in a news article, a travel web site, or on a news group? You're an admitted information junky but why is that you can never recall the information you've gleaned when you actually need it? You'd still have to scan in print articles but you may not have to use OCR conversion (Omnipage - Optical Character Recognition). This program allows you to categorize text or graphics and do key word searches. Many more features than I know at this time.
