Kevin: Re: Anybody know of a software app which lets you specify certain web sites and then goes out and caches them so you can surf them later, unplugged from the Internet? You can do this on a palm pilot so you have got to be able to do it from a PC. This capability is in IE 5.0 (and maybe earlier versions). I don't personally use it, so I'm not sure how well it works. Under "File", choose "Work Offline". To read more about it, look at "working offline" in the IE help, then click on "making pages available offline". Adam

Kev, That would be interesting software. Yesterday there were lots of ggod articles about AMD Analist meetings and subsequient Analist Comments. Here is what I did to read the stuff later off line. click on the desired website click on Flie on the browser, select save as, I save the file on desktop(windows 98)...a file icon is created with the file name you gave. Later when I'm off line I just click on the file icon and the entire website page appears. It's in static form so you can't change pages within the website to do that you have to be back online. Its a fairly quick way to line up a couple hours of reading material for the evening as you surf around during the day. Maybe some others have sone other ideas to share.

Kevin - RE: "Anybody know of a software app which lets you specify certain web sites and then goes out and caches them so you can surf them later, unplugged from the Internet?" Using IE you can. Add the site to favorites and when the box comes up, click on "Make viewable offline" and then click on customize. The guide tells you what to do. This is with IE 5. And some people say Microsoft doesn't come up with good ideas. ;)

Kevin, Go to tucows.com and then pick your closest download site and get "anawave websnake", it gives you a 3o day trial and you make be able to find a crack at hastalavists. As trial I downloaded the entire register site for later inspection. It looks like you can schedule it to run late at night when the web is fast if you are on a 56K. If you set it to run at 4AM PST then it will get the whole thing by the time you get up at 11AM and you can then snap to each page in a heatbeat on their site mirror. It is running in the background and it loks like around 5.5 Meg and 1600 HTML pages. Bill
