    Hey guys and gals,

    I'm about to post in other section something that made necessary a visit to archive.org and instead of typing the URL of the site I wanted to browse back, I typed, "archive.org" and look what I found

    The WayBackMachine former layout back in 1997, the oldest page archived:
    http://web.archive.org/web/19971011064403/http://www.archive.org/index.html

    And this is Wikipedia in 2001, http://web.archive.org/web/20010727112808/http://www.wikipedia.org

    Interesting since I have never seen those online formats before, do you?

    Maybe I didn't explain myserlf at all.

    First time I visited archive.org was around late 2005 and that site had the same layout that it showcases today.

    Going back this afternoon to document this post, http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=982653#post8874501

    I mistakenly typed "archive.org" instead of "toolpoll.com" and received the very old versions of archive with layouts that I've never seen before.
