Print web pages to TextEdit: "One advantage of OS X is "Print to PDF" to render nice digital copies of such pages to file and read later. [...] With Panther, one can instead "select all" on the desired web page, then copy and paste (or select "New Window Containing Selection" under Services -> TextEdit) into TextEdit: this will preserve the style, color, etc. of the text -- as well as imbed (most) images and links (though background colors and multi-column pages are not preserved). Unlike PDFs, one can then easily edit the resulting file -- changing fonts or margins, editing out any unnecessary content (such as banner ads), etc. -- and still preserve the URLs within the file for future reference."
