[meteorite-list] Wayback Machine for Meteorites

[Mike Bandli]

The Wayback Machine can be SLOW as molasses at times and you may have hit it
at a bad time. It doesn't work by just typing meteorite names. You need to
enter an URL. Here is what you should do:

Type the web URL (michaelbloodmeteorites.com) after the http:// in the box
labeled 'Take Me Back' and click the button. 

After this it should bring up a list of Dates (years and months) of archived
web pages within the URL. I typed in michaelbloodmeteorites.com and it goes
back as far as 2002. Here is a direct link:

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://michaelbloodmeteorites.com

Mike Farmer's goes back further and is pretty neat. Lots of old pics there.
It's interesting to see how everyone's websites have evolved.

Hope this helps!

Hi Mike and all,
        I bet at least some of the list members are no more savvy
Than I about computer workings. So, I ask this question here:
I went to the Way Back Machine to which you refer below.
        I typed in a meteorite name and hit "go" - got a black
Page. Typed in "Proud Tom" and same results.
        Went to the "http" box and typed in my own website -
Same result.
        Might you tell me/us HOW THIS IS SUPPOSED TO WORK?
        I bet there is a way..... Just ain't savvy enough....
        Michael
