Some sites, not many tho, have a printable version. Gentoo for example |
| 22 |
has that. Another common type of site, recipes. I've seen a few that |
| 23 |
don't have printable versions but most do. Other than that, you are |
| 24 |
correct. This is why I often save a web page, then use copy and paste |
| 25 |
to put the content in LOo Writer. At that point, I edit the thing until |
| 26 |
it looks like I want. Most sites, once you know what to remove and |
| 27 |
where they are, you can edit a page in just a few minutes. |

Still, web sites seem to want to make using the internet hard or at |
| 30 |
least annoying. Of course, they know people will surf the internet |
| 31 |
since there is a ton of info out there. There's not much you can't find |
| 32 |
if you look hard enough. |
