I like this idea, and it wouldn't be all that hard to
do, although manually it would be time consuming. I'm
no programming whiz, but I assume a small script could
be written on a server to do this, perhaps without
graphics (that would be quite a bit trickier.) And
what about copyright issues? Can the NYT, for
instance, be put on a non-affiliated web site for
download? Anyway, maybe I'll try it manually adn post
a link to see if people like it. I know I miss the
ability to have Avant-Go in the morning grab The
Onion, Low End Mac and the new York Times for reading
while sipping coffee at work in morning meetings. :)
