How can I save a forum post to by computer CD? I printed one that I wanted to keep, but I would like to have an electronic copy. Help.

not sure about cd but to save a page to your hard drive: go to file select "save as" , in the drop down that has "save as file type" select "web page HTML only". I would try to save the file on the cd and then run it without the page being open in your browser but with the browser open. Hope this helps.

You could copy and paste into a word processor document (or a text editor - like Word Pad) then save the doc on your CD.

I know that Firefox has utilities to capture a screenshot, I'm guessing other browsers would too. Should be able to save that file, but Wayne's method is probably the most straight forward.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

To expand on Steve CT's idea.  If your running any version of Windows since 95, you can press the following keys on your PC keyboard; Ctrl Alt PrtSc (i.e., Control-Alt-Print Screen).  This will copy whatever is on your computer display to the Windows clip-board.  You can then start a program like Microsoft Paint (which comes with about every version of Windows) and paste from the clip-board (paste is on the "edit" menu).
