>I'm struck that the author may be overly focused on collage. I got here because I'm interested in "Narrative Trails", a concept that was proposed by Bush in "As We May Think" in 1945. The idea of weaving together a set of documents to convey a complex context is quite intriguing to me. It started as a purity thing for me (the underlying documents should be read-only, markup should be separate), and morphed into this view far more sympathetic to collage. As for saving things locally, I think I'm going to proxy the web locally and save everything in a 2 terabyte ring buffer. Anything that gets referenced with a link gets moved to permanent storage. That way I'll never have to deal with a broken link again.
