Ah, I'm a moron -- it never occured to me to put the cursor over the PDF icons.

Still, Theobald's 29 evidence of macroevolution comes out to 212 pgs! And they all look like PDFs of HTML printouts (check out the header and footers, e.g.). OK I see your point, SP, about them not looking so good to print.

I got tons of PDF, DOC and TXT files in my PC from scouring the net and saving articles that I like (making sure to note the original article's url, so I can return to it. Also I copy the site's copyright notice, in case I may have to reproduce it or send it to another person.)
Good tip. I've been keeping URLs but lately some of them have been going extinct.

No worries. We all do that sometimes.

Yep it is very long. They just pretty much printed it as PDF, then fixed the links so that the links would still work. I do that sometimes. When I printed from a website and I'd like to retain the links, I edit the PDF file.

You've never thought of that? I thought everyone does that. URLs disappear fast, but once you save the file it lasts much longer, as long as your media still works. My last hard drive went kaput and I lost about two years' worth of PDF, DOC, TXT-including my very large infidel quote file!-, MP3, AVI, MPG, MOV, JPG, GIF, HTML and installer files.

Another thing I've learned from this is to keep an online, or removable media, masterlist of your data files. I generate a winamp playlist of my entire mp3 collection each week and upload it to my website so that I can hopefully rebuild my collection if the worst happens. I also save the directory list of my other files and either save it in my website, or email the list to my internet email (Yahoo) address.

Or I just burn them in a CD (however, my CD burner is pretty old and it failed to burn 3 of my last 5 projects so I can't rely on that).
