    Interesting; I remember wondering about this when I was first getting on-line, in '95 or so. "Is someone keeping an archive of all these old Web pages?"

    Neat how some of them are radically different now, and some are almost identical.

    Wow...major graphics on that one. Strangely, those older ones tend to be easier to use sometimes.
