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?

Paper management is quite an issue. I read tons of these things, and I am still trying to figure out how I want to handle them. I've heard a bunch about endnote, but I have never given it a go. There are several other paper management softwares out there, but I imagine one that allowed specialization of management style would be best.

Right now I'll probably stick to throwing them into a big pile on the floor. :)
