This article in the January 26 issue of _The New Yorker_ (starting on
page 34) is interesting. I have often thought about how various
personal but useful websites relating to computing history can exist
after the creators stop supporting them, e.g., <br>
<a href="http://tenex.opost.com/" eudora="autourl">
http://tenex.opost.com/</a><br>
or <br>
<a href="http://walden-family.com/impcode/" eudora="autourl">
http://walden-family.com/impcode/</a> <br>
As the article points out, the formal archives are not so great for
saving these personal website, even if the formal arthives had the space
and effort, as websites created as personal efforts to save bits of
computing history often aren't so careful about copyright issues.
I'm not sure that the Wayback Machine at present is the answer as it
doesn't seem particularly easy to access and search. <br>
PS, I did note one technical mistake in the article: Licklider did
not help found BBN; he *was* key in founding BBN's computing
activities.<br><br>
