Apologies to those on the Yahoo! list, who are in effect seeing this
message twice.
Bob Lennon discovered a brilliant free web service that maintains an
archive of vanished websites. It's called the Internet Archive Wayback
Machine and is at http://web.archive.org
As you need to know the URL of the vanished site you want to access, it's
not quite as easy to use as (say) Google. But I have a page on my site
relating to vanished Hawkwind websites and fortunately I know the URL's to
those sites. So anyone who wants to see (for example) Knut Gewer's
excellent Spirit of the (P)age website again, I have a link that will take
you there...
Go to my page http://www.starfarer.net/wherenow.html and look for the cyan
(light blue) text. For every vanished website listed on that page, I have
checked out whether it can still be accessed via the Internet Archive
Wayback Machine, and if it can, I've posted a link (royal blue) for you to
click on.
Oh, and Andy Cobley's Sonic Attack site has reappeared, for those of you
that remember it. There's a link to it on the page of mine that I referred
to above.
Happy Surfing
Steve
