Web snapshots for presentations

Browsing through the archive, I noticed that the subject of web snapshot

programs has not come up on Web4Lib for a while. We have tried
Webwhacker, but we are not really satisfied with it because it can only
grab certain pages (that don't have CGI searches) and seems to hang up a

lot.

What programs have other librarians found are fast, easy to use, and
appropriate for the following?:

1) Grabbing web pages in their entirety while on-line
2) Displaying them off-line in a point-and-click method
3) Allow grabbing of pages that are the result of CGI searches (for
example, let's me grab the page where I type in my search, and then also

grabs the results for later display).

I know there are ways of using grabbed images together with PowerPoint,
but what we are most interested in is a program that would simulate the
use of Netscape off-line.

Thanks in advance for any specific suggestions!
