Try out OmniWeb - very like Safari (uses WebKit) and automatically save all open tabs. Many other useful features - like site-specific ad-blocking and popup-blocking. Much more. http://www.omnigroup.org Registered user - otherwise unaffiliated with OmniGroup.

Mara -- Google Notebook seems very cool. There are a lot of Personal Information Managers kind of like that out there. Have you tried Backpack? It's from 37 Signals, the same guys who make the absolutely great collaboration/project management software Basecamp. My problem with those kinds of apps is there just too complicated for me and, eventually, I stop using them. The great thing about del.icio.us is that it doesn't take any time to do and I use it so that I don't forget things. And then as a side effect, I find that I'm publishing a link blog and and organizing things as well. JestuWhat -- Your problem is not needing a bigger screen but more ram. Safari is kind of a hog and Expose is brutal. With skimpy ram both those things together will get you the spinning beach ball for sure!

I can’t get Safari to open that many windows or past 5 tabs. It’s broken! Will obtaining a larger monitor help or do you have the cinema display here..?

Have you heard of Google Notebook? It’s kinda new and not so publicized. I’ve been using it and I find it to be just the organizational tool I need. I can categorize links, photos, stories, etc and everything is saved under my gmail account. There is a little tab that you can install in your browser window (in Firefox at least) that lets you Notebook things you find. You can even highligh text on a page and notebook just the selection. But this delicious business is also impressive.

Your comment about the proper function of– and maintenance for– inboxes sent me into a panic. Are inboxes really supposed to remain more or less empty? Yikes, I’ve got my work cut out for me.

Wow, such a simple yet powerful revelation!
