Elpidios from the chat room asked: what’s the best way to save complete websites locally and preserving all the links for future reference?

Typical web browsers like Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox 3 will allow you to save webpages along with all the links.  After opening the webpage, go to the file menu and look for a save or export feature.  If you use Microsoft Word, you can go to file/open and type in the URL of the webpage then just save it to a file.

Also keep in mind, Google cahces all webpages.  When search in Google the results will show a cache link.
