[Athen] where are you getting your accessibility info?

[Hadi Rangin]

Sounds like a very good way for organizing useful notes and references. Can 
you tell us how accessible that application is?

Here's how I organize my stuff:
1. For online references, I bookmark them in the browser I am using at the 
time. I use XMarks to synchronize all the booksmarks I have across all the 
computers and browsers I am using. This will give me always access to the 
up-to-date bookmarks. Clearly, I have created 100s of folders and 
sub-folders over several years but they are pretty organized and structured.

2. For off-line materials or programs, I upload them in my own secure server 
and can access them whenever it is needed. I usually mount the folder where 
I have all my off-line files and programs onto the system I am using and can 
access them either as local folder or via HTTP access. I use WebDrive 
program to mount remote network drive or SAMBA when I am within my Intranet.

Thanks,
Hadi
