1. I’ve used myBase/WebCollect for years and am quite happy with it. I recently said,

“I?ve used myBase/WebCollect for years and prefer it to Surfulater and other Web capture PIMs. Very occasionally a Web page cannot be saved, but this seldom occurs and saved Web pages appear in their original format unlike the saved pages in some other PIMs.

“A few months ago, I suddenly could not save new ?New York Times? pages. I contacted the developer (wjjsoft.com ; in China-excellent English) and within a few days it sent me a fix. The developer is very responsive.”

HOWEVER, exporting information from myBase, should it become defunct, is not easy.

You may wish to try another approach that I’ve recently posted here. See:

I’ve just started using TreePad Business to see how well my idea works (or doesn’t). Less complex * less expensive versions of TreePad may work as well.
