Internet Archive

The WayBack Machine has snapshots of web pages such as this one, going back to 1996. According to the FAQ, the archive is growing in size by about 20 terabytes per month.

There is also the Texts Archive which contains textfiles and scans of books such as this one.

Be sure and check out the Audio Archive, where you can find gems such as this one (that must be a loooong Dark Star!)

Of course, there is a Software Archive, where I found this incredibly useful utility.

If you're looking for a way to use a whole lot of bandwidth, check out the Moving Image Archive. I found this insanely great movie. Can you believe they didn't renew the copyright?

Anyway, if you didn't know about it...now you do.

darn it... some of the oldies I was looking for don't show up cuz the owner has blocked archive.org... shouldn't there be a law against that?? :)

I got a kick out of "Goodbye, little black book! Hello, handheld!" I wonder if there's a hidden meaning in that statement.

I was gonna watch Santa Claus Conquers the Martians but I think I'll hold off for a while ...

I'm searching the software archive for an OS/2 .iso just for kicks. I think I'll run it on VMware.
