Most of the early web is gone for good. What survived, we switched back on.
This machine is wired to the internet OF THE PAST, and the whole of it runs in this window. There is nothing to install. Pick a year between 1996 and 2006, let the modem sing, and the internet becomes that year. |
Keys or Bookmarks to Vital Information
on This Website
 |
The Old Internet — a working Windows 98 with a modem in it, and everything the archives cannot switch on: Flash, MIDI, VRML, frames, and the dead CGI servers rebuilt. |
 |
Garden Eternal — why this site exists. An internet café in Riyadh in 1999, and a doorway walked through once. |
 |
The BBS List
— 108,078 dial-up numbers, the towns
they rang in, and what people wrote about them.
 |
 |
Recoveries — things the Wayback Machine never had, found somewhere else and put back, with the account of how. |
 |
The Gopher Hole — both directories served over the protocol the web stopped speaking, on the real port 70. |
 |
Ham Radio — a live receiver in Riyadh, on the 2 metre band and broadcast FM. Listen to what the station is hearing. |
 |
Telemetry Node 7Z1FP — a live amateur radio ground station in Riyadh, listening to satellites. |
 |
The Photo Desk — a Saudi family archive, and the history of Al-Qadsiah. |
 |
About the Operator — who keeps this, and why a record is only half the job. |
