Question for you!

Academic and studently sorts! What do you do with papers that other people wrote? You get this fresh shiny article, full of really important information that you're going to use or whatever...

Do you have them nicely organized in folders, by topic and author? Do you just delete them? Are they PDFs? postscript? Word docs?

What if you had something that was kind of iTunes-like, but for papers and slides and stuff, and you could sort and search and organize and have a central place to stash all of them? What if I wrote something like that, and it was cross-platform and easy to use and exciting and awesome?

I would love it forever and ever and get married to it in a different state.

Hottt! So do you mostly work with PDFs, or do you get things in other formats? ...

PDFs or PSs. Usually astrophysicists like PSs because they use Linux, but they'll usually post PDF versions too.

I'm forwarding you my presentation right now. A lot of info is left out because I said it out loud in my presentation, but I'll send you the paper (not due until Monday!) when it's finished, if you want.
