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., http://tenex.opost.com/ or http://walden-family.com/impcode/ 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. 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. -- home address: 12 Linden Rd., E.
