I have to agree with Kris. Frames have their place and are sometimes the
only viable solution to a particular web design problem.
 
Use your right mouse key - latest browser versions will allow you to save
the frame URL in your bookmark file! Or else you'll be offered the choice to
open a new browser window with just the contents of that particular frame in
it! At this point you can then save it as a bookmark just like you're used
to doing!
 
Cheers,
