 @efc162a0 I hear you about the Wayback Machine. This was a screenshot of a page of ours from 1997, but it shows an errant semicolon in the company name that was not there. I used to code & without the amp; because Netscape rendered the ampersand correctly anyway. I suspect Archive.org doesn’t know this and somehow messes that up.

A real shame that it does not have the first home page in October 1997 and the CD-ROM where I stored it has become corrupted! 
 @79067dd7 ah yes, old CDs that no longer work…alas I have a couple of those too. I also have all the old files (Movable Type and even Radio Useeland), but the one thing I wish I’d done more in the old days was save screenshots. One day I might try and reconstruct some of the early versions of RWW.
