heh.  It's the sort of thing I like to save a local copy...I discovered 
OpenOffice can export pdfs, so no need to try to pirate/figure out how 
to activate a copy of Acrobat just for converting web pages to a single 
file instead of html+folder-with-images-and-such that Firefox does, and 
it can read wpds so I'll probably convert my old school papers at some 
point.  It still goofs up the charts with my finances spreadsheet, so 
I'm stuck with Excel for that still.

There are several free pdf "printers" available, that let you create pdfs 
from any application that you can print from.

PDF995 and PrimoPDF are two that I know of and have used.

I have a pet rock called Dinkum, from Oz. Yes, it's a fair Dinkum. :)
