Marta,
You are the Henry David Thoreau of our group!!! I do know what you
mean and have learned that THE key to organization is NAMING the item
properly. How would I use Spotlight later to look for this. It
become a difficult task and I will have to go back an rename several
items.

John, I am doing some sort right now from the books and
dissertations I have. And my computer is so full of everything from
the last 5 years or so, I lost all oversight, my computer looks like
Sanford and Son . What they had stacked up in material things, I
have saved under God knows what titles in my archives !!! - But
when, oh when will I ever get back, or remember what actually I have
saved?
Everything is in flux, and we float along in this boat of life. Ever
forward, no time to look back and reflect.

I would LOVE to have all magazines digital, I talk to the Zino folks
about ever six months. http://www.zinio.com/home?ns=usa
Once they get the articles so they can be saved I will stop all paper
subscriptions. For one thing I hate killing the trees but I also
want
to save only what I need from a publication and so far they don't
allow this so I continue on with paper.
I would also like the same feature from a book, saving the paragraphs
or chapters I want to keep for an archive on a particular subject.
One day.....

But what happens to us, who do like to stroke the book covers and
delight in the feel of the linen and the print and the long rows on
book cases. I grant the Kindle is marvellous for travelling, I am
just reading Ovid's Metamorphoses on my iPhone, a free download.
The Kindle sounds lovely -- with reservations.
I guess I'm more concerned with content and accessibility than form.
As prices fall, interfaces improve and content migrates it won't be
long until most people prefer the new way of reading.
Some examples come to mind.
My grandmother used to nostalgically recall the wonderful fountain
pens she was given as a graduation present. I noticed she always
used a ball point pen because it was cheap and easy. (The
"wonderful" fountain pens needed to be filled with ink and cleaned.
They sat in a drawer.)
I have several audiophile acquaintances who love their old LPs and
fondly talk of the "warm" sound they give. Several researchers have
pretty conclusively shown the "warm" sound comes from a combination
of turntable rumble and manufacturing limitations inherent in vinyl
pressing.
