I just checked this out - it seems to me as soon as you load more than 2 or 3 pages, Safari starts dumping older pages. I imagine it wants to keep in memory only the 1 or 2 most recent ones.

So, as you said, it really doesn't work for offline reading.

I've now loaded The Perfect Browser and it even holds my traderstation. Good news.

One last thing.....
What's the best way to transfer my iTunes files and text docs from MacBook to iPad?

thanx!

The miniatures are just little preview images, not the real web page.

To read later you might want to try opening a new page for each one you want to read later, make sure they're all loaded, then sleeping the iPad. IOS 4 will probably work better than IOS 3 for that. You know you can have multiple pages open in Safari right?

Hi Nikster
it doesn't seem to matter if they're fully loaded or not......they get lost on re-load.
I've also asked on Macrumours and from a friend yesterday and the best I can come up with is either save with Goodreader or OfflinePages or to try another browser.....Atomic and The Perfect Browser were mentioned and I shall try them.
It was suggested Safari is doing this to save memory, but it seems a high price to pay for the inconvenience. On my Macbook I regularly keep dozens of tabs open and flick between them over the next days to read or re-read or consult. One would think an inactive page would use not much of the memory resources.
Another BIG problem is if I get my stockmarket tradestation up via Browser (there doesn't seem to be a standalone version for iPad and portable trade-ability is half the reason for getting the iPad) I have to go through several security steps to load it up and make my moves. With the iPad Safari on unsleep it reverts to the first step.....out comes the number generator again. Impossible.
(Don't know about IOS4 or 3, I presume I have the latest system in the iPad as I only bought it in CM last week. While we're at it, where's the equivalent of "About this Mac" on OSX to find out what is in there?

Thanx for the help
John

Thanks for the replies and sorry for tardiness I'm on the case now

How much does he have with SOL, where does he live and what is his nationality.

Knowing him my guess is he has a moderate amount perhaps 100k Euros or less, but it is his only backstop in case of emergencies so very important indeed.

He is Australian but lives in Thailand.
It's a shame he didn't simply have an Australian account all along and benefit from both high rates and rising Ozzie $ but that's hindsight.
Question is action or no action.......is Spain safe enough, is the Euro near it's bottom or not yet, and has Australian $ seen it's move up....is it topping and thus somewhat dangerous?
