I quite frequently use information I have received from the net in my
projects. I simply save the information as a text file and store it on my
hard drive. I have a special folder which is used exclusively for this
purpose. Text files can be opened and read using any word processor. I use
ClarisWorks but many others can be used.

I use a Mac but I am sure there is a similar method for Windows 95 machines.

If you want to get really fancy, you could set up a database which indexes
your quotes but this would seem to be a bit more than is usually needed.
