Do you guys ever use the Internet Archive for anything? I agree that they're doing a great job archiving things, but realistically, through time most of things which happened have been forgotten.

I use the Wikipedia like once a week to look something up, but I only ever used the Internet Archive to look at a early version of my own website. But never for anything else. But perhaps I'm missing out on something?

Well. I found free downloadable versions of the Mad Max novels there. So that’s kewl. Also a good source for ebooks, if I don’t feel like reading words.
