Antoine, I mean saving them on the computer, as files. I mean, you have something like a 10 gig harddrive in your new Dell, right? Let's say you are reading a post that you want to save, and your browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer, which I am using right now. On the very top bar, there is a row that says, "File Edit Window" etc. Mouseclick "File," click "Save," click on the icon of the folder with the arrow pointing up a couple of times until you get to C:. Then click on the icon of the folder with little rays coming out of the right side. It will show an icon entitled "New Folder." Type something like "Interesting SI posts," or if you want to save them sorted by individual you could type the name of the person, e.g., "CobaltBlue". Then hit enter. Then, you can save the post, but you would probably find it helpful to give the file a name that will help you find it, say, Directions on saving. You can save as .html, you can save as text, ".txt". Later, you can read these from your browser, or you can read them using a word processing program, like Word or Word Perfect. You could save them in "download," that is the easiest, but the directions I have given make it easy to find them. I always save things in folders with the individuals' name on it, on the C: drive, then I don't have to remember what subdirectory it is in. Or you could create a SI subdirectory, that would make sense.
