Outcrook has built in organization features, all the browsers I've tried have bookmark capabilities, and with hard drive storage prices dropping like a 10MB full-height MFM drive, it's pretty easy to slap a drive in an external case and have oodles of near-line storage to save pics, letters, mp3s, etc., whatever you want. (Yes, kids, that 10 Megabytes, that massive amount of storage I had on my first XT compatible machine!) Whoops, my bad. This is all about catering to the stupid computer user that barely knows how to do more than turn his/her machine on. Let Google do it all for you, it's better that way. Sorry Google. Your little toolbar was a neat idea when it first came out, and I used it. Then, all the phone-home issues started to come out into the open, and now this. Go away.
