Has anyone heard of the Wayback Machine Internet Archive

I just discovered it. If you have a link that no longer works, 404, the Wayback Machine may have captured it along with pics on the page.

A very cool tool.

Also you can enter an address and it will archive it for you.

5. It is a fun tool when politicians try to scrub their sites

of bad statements they've had for a long time.

They get caught and either delete or re-write a page... but if the page has been archived by archive.org, bingo... they are caught.

Happens more often than it should.

6. It is great

I had a bunch of dead links on my webpage, and now they are alive again, pics and all.

You can even archive a DU thread if you want to.
