Bookmarks suck, and here's why: I usually bookmark pages because I like the content and want to come back to it later. Web sites, however, foil my bookmarks by changing their content, updating their information, rearranging their pages, or even altering their URLs. Then, when I finally have time to come back and check out that super awesome page I bookmarked, I find that the information I was interested in is gone—or worse, I get their oh-so-lovely custom 404 page that gently informs me that I'm out-of-luck. What to do?

Bookmarks suck because they only point to where the information is supposed to be. They don't provide any sort of guarantee that the content will still be there when I want it again. Not to mention that bookmarking dynamically generated pages, such as search results and receipt pages, is next to impossible.

Because of these drawbacks, I've been forced to go through the laborious process of saving a web page to my hard drive if I want to be able to retrieve the information again. And now that I've got all this valuable information saved to my computer, I'm forced to figure out some sort of fool-proof method of continually backing up all 372 folders of data. Umm. Floppy disks? Ha-Ha. (Insert disk #28,103 of 50,000, please. And don't forget to label.)

Now, there's a solution!
