Re: [MLUG] web.archive.org

As is usually the case with me they haven't any of the stuff I wish they'd
saved. Some files I can't replace. Luckily I still have them in encrypted
form. I figure if I hold on to them long enough I'll be able to break the
encryption eventually. Damn lossing keys. :)

I think Jenni said she knew someone from their project. Will have to see
if she manges to get online and give us some feedback. She needs a modem
for a laptop or something. :P

Saving web pages is a waste for the most part. Saving files and documents
has more value. Unfortunately most web pages have very little content
value without the attached files. I do consider XML documents worth saving
though. :)
