I have just had an interesting experience. I have been reading the Mudcat Discussion Forum for 2 December 1998.
How did I do this?????
TIME WARP !!!!

Well, actually NO....

I chanced across a website where somebody is attempting to make a permanent record of what is out there on the Internet before it all disappears and is replaced by something more asinine.
Their aim is to record for posterity, and for study, as much of the Internet as they can. The Internet Archive is working to prevent the Internet ? a new medium with major historical significance ? and other "born-digital" materials from disappearing into the past. Collaborating with institutions including the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian, we are working to permanently preserve a record of public material. I was looking at Mudcat 98 via this location Blicky to - http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.mudcat.org

Their archives also include archived film material - public infomercials and stuff, if you can spare a few hundred megabites per download.
Just thought it may be if interest to some of you out there!
Quack!
