askSam SurfSaver - the filing cabinet for Web pages

A new product coming soon from askSam Systems

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:  March 5, 1998

Perry, Florida -- askSam Systems today released a public Beta of SurfSaver, a new product which will benefit people using the Internet for research.  SurfSaver lets you store Web pages directly from your browser into searchable folders. Once saved, you can quickly search and browse these pages (even when you're not connected to the Internet).

According to askSam Systems President, Phil Schnyder, "SurfSaver is the ideal tool for anyone doing on-line research. It gives you a place to store the information you collect, and saves you from the frustrations of trying to retrace your footsteps to find a particular Web page. Just as important, SurfSaver gives you a permanent archive of the information you collect. If the original Web page changes or disappears, you'll still have the information".

SurfSaver is not a replacement for a browser; it integrates seamlessly with your current browser. You navigate the Internet just as you've always done. When you find a page you wish to save, right click the mouse and choose the SurfSaver Save command. The page is immediately saved with text, graphics, and hypertext links.

The Web pages you save in SurfSaver are easy to find. You can list them all, or you can search

for specific pages. SurfSaver offers a wide variety of searches including full-text, Boolean, proximity, date, and more. You search the pages directly from your browser. The pages you retrieve keep their original formatting (even graphics).

SurfSaver folders can be sent from one user to another. This allows an on-line researcher to gather information on the Internet and pass the relevant files on to others.

"There are large groups of people using the Internet to gather information - students, professors, journalists, analysts, librarians, doctors, investors, lawyers, and businesses. We believe SurfSaver will be 'must have' for everybody doing this type of research" says Schnyder.
