Yes, I can’t help but feel jilted over the whole thing. Altavista is far cooler, as you can SEARCH with the ghosts of the dead… lol

On the other hand I’m glad it gives more visibility to the UTZOO archives, although they don’t touch on their suppression and how they were pulled from archive.org.

Its fairly less interesting. PostgreSQL ain’t no AltaVista!

Yes, for a while I was using WinVN to follow along with the happenings with the ramp up to Star Trek III.. But it’s 1987 now, and the next Trek film is V, which I’m not looking forward to.

It’s really cool, but it plays back in ‘real time’ with a 30 year delay.I wanted to go through the whole archive though.

You can find some mention of Windows NT with it’s original name, NT OS/2.

Also it was 2 months short of the original announcement for Linux, although 386BSD made the cut!

I ended up doing this as in my mind it was actually less effort!… Lol. Although there was a lot of legwork on the regex portion.

I guess I have to build myself an Altavista now. Although I’m still stuck on building myself an olduse.net – can’t say I really started, but you know how it is. Too many projects, too little time.

Cheers,

Florian
