I haven't found the "perfect" page sucker yet, but look at your choices at
<http://www.eskimo.com/~pristine/offline.html>.  I think Web Retriever
looks promising!  But if you want a product still being developed then
look at the other choices.

Subject: [Q] Location Manager

I *love* the Location Manager in OS8, but I was wondering if anyone knew
of software to accomplish the same sort of thing (switch groups of
preferences at once) under System 7.  Not to be TOO out-moded, but I do
enjoy seeing old Macs tick along.  I use an old one at work when I need my
nice Mac interface to do my work more quickly.  Suggestions?

Subject: [Q] PB 170 screen

I have a PowerBook 170 that is sufficiently souped-up that I don't want to
say goodbye.  (Battery life with a monochrome display is phenomenal
because I can turn the backlight off.  The screen has no filters for color
or grayscale, so I can see on and off pixels without a backlight.  I added
an Envisio video-out card and an internal modem, and it has max RAM of 8
Meg.  When the power goes out, as in last week's record-setting snow storm
in central NC, I am NOT out of luck.  I don't use it for heavy-duty work,
but I can't beat it for battery life and dependability.)  Last week I
opened it up to check on the video card since I was having an external
video problem.  The answer turned out to be RTFM and use software, but I
looked at the hardware first.  It was fine for several restarts after that
while I was testing monitors.  It got too cold to startup at one point
last week, but then came up fine when it warmed up.  What a trouper!  And
then it did something funny, AFTER all those chances last week for which I
wouldn't blame it for having problems.  The video is all screwy. 
Basically the screen is divided into about 5 pixel columns.  The top half
has every other column and fills in with gray checkerboard (one pixel on,
neighbors off), and the bottom half has the columns the top half didn't
show, and I can only barely access the top half and left half of my
screen; only one-quarter of my screen shows in this odd manner!  Now, I've
seen weird video on my PowerBook 170 years ago when I first bought it and
it needed its floppy drive replaced, and it was my fault for not seating
the video connector tightly when putting it back together.  So I thought I
had not been careful enough, and I opened the case and reseated the
connector.  Well, I've checked my work 4 times, and nothing I do
(including setting it in the coziest warmest place in the house, since it
didn't like getting cold) fixes the video.  Please, does anyone have any
ideas?  I think I'll try contact cleaner, but really the contacts look
very clean.

Thanks for any tips!
