The Internet Archive

[bookslover]

Please be aware, if you aren't already, of the Internet Archive - millions of books, TV show, radio show, recordings, etc. available for free (everyone's favorite word).

One of their latest projects: professionally digitizing 25,000 78-rpm discs from back in the Olden Times (before even I was born!).

In my line of work, intellectual property related to wireless communications engineering, I use it all the time, e.g., to ferret out prior art for patent invalidity research, company business intelligence, etc.

It has also been very useful to recover past posts or content no longer available on the world wide web.

That's pretty neat. We've come a long way!

I remember that! When Matt and I started the board, Matt was like: "You want to do what?" My response: "Start a discussion list for the Reformed community!" Matt replied: "Why?" I laughed as I was very active on a Yahoo discussion list and The Baptist Board-at the time, Matt and I were still credo-Baptists.
