Daly,

I know you are, or were at one stage, an enthusiastic user of Zoot, which also has the capability of archiving web pages.  This being the case, apart from the very obvious differences in the way the data is presented and searched, what is for you the reason to use Surfulater above Zoot?

I’ve been slowly stabilising the programs I use for information management, and have been working at reducing their numbers (I even managed to get rid Ultra Recall by better use of Zoot).  Most of my data archiving goes on in The Brain, but that only links to URLs (unless one feels inclined to save webpages as files or to cut and paste them to item notes, with various dodgy results ...).  Surfulater, along with Zoot, has the ability to store the page so that the information remains available if the online page disappears (which does sometimes happen to me).  Upgrading to Surfulater will put a spanner in the works of my nice neat information management strategy, but I’m keen to hear how the two programs compare :-)

Thanks!

Graham
