Abstract
A uniquely programmed computer system, computer-implemented method, and computer readable memory embodying computer-readable detail logic direct a computer system to create a temporary list of links. The present invention creates the list of links without having to first open/visit the corresponding site to each link in the list or having to manually enter the name and address of the sites. The method includes placing the computer system in an itinerary mode, wherein the links lose their original function of opening/visiting the corresponding site when selected. The method includes displaying the list on a first portion of the display. The method includes selecting from a second portion of the display at least one link to be placed in the list. The method includes opening/visiting and displaying the site corresponding to the selected link on the second portion of the display in response to a selection of at least one link placed in the list.
