I absolutely love this idea. I am a huge fan of the good old fashioned .txt file. I always have bits and pieces of crap I want to save, URLs, quotes, article texts, stories, whatever. This would be a great way to keep track of this - sort of a running history file.

This also fits into another neat idea, the idea that someone else can retrieve your stuff if you’re killed in a horrible Bird Flu epidemic.

I’m going to start one of these tonight and I’m never going to stop using it.

For a text editor, I think I like Notetab Pro the best. It handle’s HUGE text files, it has a nice spell checker, some good text statistics, its cheap (Light is free), and its super fast.

One problem I will have to figure out is a way to run this remotely. Either I’ll have to do the thumb drive idea (although my POS laptop only has one USB jack) or I’ll have to find a good way to keep it remotely. I’ll think of something =)

Great idea, I love it. Thanks for posting!!
