I came across this web site link from one of my on-line newsletters:
http://www.archive.org/web/web.php
The site is called "The Wayback Machine," and they have archived websites as far back as 1999. It is very interesting to browse web pages that were used during the time frame where we were all getting used to our on-line world. We really have come a long, long way.
When we first started creating web sites at Rossini.com, the browsers didn't support any image formats except .gif. We only created images with 256 colors to make sure we were compatible with all types of computer equipment, and our target monitor was 640 x 480 resolution. If you think about those parameters, you can see how far we have come.
On the website, you can type in a domain, and the Wayback Machine will offer links for the website as far back as possible. I enjoyed looking at sites, ours included, going back to 1999. Give it a try; it really is an eye opener.
They also offer collections of archival sites, such as National archives, weather related sites, 2000 Election sites, September 11 archives, etc.
