So, how many of you while researching info on vintage machines and usage of vintage machines start folders of the google sites that you found helpful? And how many of you find that you can't find the info that you bookmarked when you are looking for the info to help others? So, you have to just google again. Or when you do recall the bookmarked site where the info is located, you find the site is no longer up; so, you have to google again.

It's so easy to find oneself in the state of confusion while searching through bookmarks.

Time for me to delete bookmarks and organize folders, or just google for the information in the first place.

:? :roll:

After 'bookmarking' quite a few topics and then trying to locate them, it just began to feel like one of my junk drawers.... you might find something you want in there if you swish thingies back and forth long enough. LOL :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thought I saved it, but cannot find it--and have no clue where it is in all these pages--at least I think it was in here somewhere!!!!!!!
