Hi Randall I'm very interested in hearing how others archive/ organise their work/ ideas/ references as to be honest I have stuff all over the place and lose things all the time, which is frustrating confusing and inefficient. I have notes in text files on the computer, in traditional notebooks, online - on my blog and some on evernote. Too many places and not organised. I need a better system! dave
