It's always fun to look at Apple's, Google's, or Yahoo's old site just to see how basic they once were. Once I saw that Apple was advertising their whopping 300 mhz powerbook, we've got handhelds faster than that now. Razz

It was so nice when the Yahoo! page was nice and clean too. Or to read the /. archives--what fun.

It's not a firefox problem, It's DNS.

That being said it doesn't resolve for me either.

That site is awesome! I've been getting stuff from there for years upon years! The wayback machine is cool though too, I've used it to recover old websites I made and such, also fun to see Microsoft and Google when they were first starting out.

I thought it was awesome to see Prophet's Unix tutorial on textfiles.com . That was one of the earliest ones I read.
