Found an excellent IBM.com page with explanation of difference between directories and file systems. I noticed archive.org has single snapshot of it. When I tried to save another, I got I had reached the quota limit... 40K a day

Is symptom of growing hackdom of the networked criminals that will ensure most of the population stay ignorant. Is easier to control poor, hungry, and ignorant people. Even if they are Americans

Summer online in the late 90s? Disney hoped you’d start at Go․com.

It launched in 1998 as a bold web portal strategy to unify Disney’s online presence—ESPN, ABC, Disney—all under one digital roof. But starting in 2001, it was gradually stripped of services & branding. Now it's just directs to a page about the Disney Company.

So here’s a really useful tip if you’re using archive.org to look up a site and it redirects to some other site because that’s what they saw at a later crawl…

Prefix your search (in the URL bar) with:

https://web.archive.org/web/*/

So, for example, if you search for https://www.blendwebmix.com/ on archive.org, you’ll get a redirect to a different site.

But if you enter the following URL in your browser:

https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.blendwebmix.com/

You’ll get the calendar view with all the crawls of the URL.

Thanks to iarchivist for the tip (https://archive.org/post/1012493/wayback-how-to-deal-with-redirects).

(I’m going through and fixing all the links in a decade of talks for Laura and myself on the Kitten version of the Small Technology Foundation site and most of the conference sites are either gone or don’t have archives so the Internet Archive is coming through again bigtime.)
