My home page on my computer is simply a static HTML page with a table structure and then a link in each box in the table.

It is utterly trivial and totally useful.

I also save "bookmarks" to an ordinary text file. My editor will open the browser on a text link. I just don't see an advantage to an app for it.

I don't like the bookmark feature of a browser because if I switch browsers or use another computer, it's gone. The file gets backed up, too.

Aaaahhhnnd, I keep a spiral paper notebook on my desk for ... notes!

I got one like that, but the links aren't in a table.

    The table format means the display can be used more effectively than a list on the left hand side.

    Tables are pretty simple:

        <table border=1 cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0>
    <tr>
    <td> <A HREF="https://www.google.com">Google</A>
    <td> <A HREF="http://slashdot.org">Slashdot</A>
    <td> <A HREF="https://www.ebay.com">Ebay</A>

    and so on...
